The University of Wisconsin-Madison has a proud tradition of providing outstanding continuing education for healthcare professionals. In January 2015, the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) Office of Continuing Professional Development (OCPD), School of Nursing Continuing Education in Nursing Program, and the School of Pharmacy Division of Pharmacy Professional Development formed a partnership to enhance professional development opportunities focusing on interprofessional collaboration and teamwork.
