Barret Michalec is the Director of the Center for Advancing Interprofessional Practice, Education and Research (CAIPER), and an associate professor in the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. He is also an associate professor of medical humanities with the Creighton University School of Medicine, and the Associate Dean of the Barrett Honors College Downtown Campus. A sociologist by training, Michalec’s research examines socialization and professionalization processes and mechanisms nested within health professions education and practice – most notably those impacting socio-emotional and team-based skills and attributes. His work also explores disparities in health, healthcare, and within the health professions, with a focus on the socio-cultural design of health pre-professional pathways.
