Abstract
We describe the development of an interprofessional (IP) program to improve transitional care and reduce health disparities. SHARP: Students Helping At-Risk Patients provides opportunities for students of nursing, medicine and social work to learn in IP care teams while supporting small groups of chronically ill patients at-risk for poor outcomes.
