This study developed an interprofessional simulated ward for medical and nursing students. The realistic training environment provided a powerful, safe learning experience, highlighting effective teamwork and clinical skills.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Interprofessional Learning
  • Simulation in Healthcare

Background:

  • Junior medical and nursing students require practical training in realistic healthcare settings.
  • Developing effective interprofessional collaboration skills is crucial for patient safety and care quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an interprofessional simulated ward environment for junior medical and nursing students.
  • To identify themes for future evaluations and refine formative assessment criteria for simulation exercises.

Main Methods:

  • A simulated ward was created with common medical conditions.
  • Second-year medical and nursing students worked in interprofessional teams during a simulated 'shift'.
  • Observers assessed collaborative teamwork, leadership, prioritization, and clinical performance, with participant evaluations and focus groups informing assessment criteria.
