Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are among the nation's leading examples of team-based, community-focused primary care, bringing together professionals from multiple disciplines to address the medical, behavioral, and social needs of patients. As health centers navigate a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, understanding how these organizations sustain high-quality, accessible care has never been more important.
Join us to explore the financial and clinical strategies FQHCs use to improve access and health outcomes in some of our most rural and underserved communities.

Participation may be applied toward the Interprofessional Honors Distinction application to earn a nationally recognized digital credential that highlights students’ collaborative team skills for excellence in clinical and community practice. All UNE students are welcome to apply. All requirements must be complete prior to March 1 of students’ graduating year:

“The payment model influences collaboration by shaping how providers bill and their productivity, but it often complicates teamwork due to varying guidelines across professions and lack of reimbursement for collaborative time. Despite these challenges, upholding patient-centered values involves advocating for patients' functional goals, working with other professionals to guide decisions, prioritizing client-centered care, and promoting value-based payment models that reward preventive and quality care rather than volume.â€
– UNE Osteopathic Medicine student, ’29, who attended the collaborative CAIEP and UNE College of Business event ‘Business of Interprofessional Healthcare’ Nov. 19, 2025.
