8. Overview
What are Clinical Education Partnerships ?
Clinical Educational Partnership (CEP) are academic classes commonly
called Co-Op or Internships, which blends classroom learning with practical
work experience.
CEP students and IOHS partner with medical facilities in the US and
Canada to receive relevant clinical rotations and work experience in
medical fields.
Students must be academically eligible for Co-Op, they are registered and
pay for the class, complete assignments in the Co-Op and receive a grade
for their clinical internship.

What is Flipped Teaching ?
Essentially, flip teaching allows faculty to time-shift and expand total learning
time. There are many forms of flip teaching, and none of them has been
around long enough to be fully evaluated. So we certainly don't claim flip
teaching is a panacea. But there may well be exciting potential here, and
one role of IHS is to make it easy for faculty to try it out for themselves and
discover which form of it they find most useful.
