Health Science Interprofessional Research Center

Welcome!

The mission of the HSIRC is to support and further develop interprofessional applied research among UWL students, faculty, and community partners, in tandem with national and international scientists. The center provides a space to link faculty and students from multiple UWL allied health professional programs. Currently, faculty from Occupational, Recreational, and Physical Therapies as well as Exercise and Sport Science serve in the HSIRC with plans to expand partnerships across campus. The facility service dog program named "Dr. Wags" is the first collaborative HSIRC project.
