Dr. Haizlip is Clinical Professor at the University of Virginia School of Nursing and Faculty in the University of Virginia Department of Pediatrics.  She is actively involved in clinical, teaching and research activities that promote collaborative education and practice in health care. As Co-Director of the Center for Academic Strategic Partnerships for Interprofessional Research and Education (ASPIRE),  her projects include the development of the No Room for Error© simulation that emphasizes the importance of collaborative care for patient safety, a standardized patient activity highlighting the complex issues involved in the care of children with chronic progressive illness, and involvement in the Train-the-Trainer Faculty Development Program course for Interprofessional Education.
