Background:

Traditional healthcare education often lacks interprofessional collaboration opportunities.
Students may have limited understanding of other professions' roles and contributions.
Effective elder care requires a collaborative approach involving diverse professional perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe an interprofessional course designed for students and elder teachers.
To enhance students' understanding of professional boundaries (turf), teamwork (team), and community intervention planning (town).
To evaluate student learning through journals, rounds, and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).

Main Methods:

Implementation of an interprofessional course involving students and elder teachers.
Focus on refining professional parameters, interprofessional collaboration, and community-based intervention design.
Assessment of student progress using reflective journals, participation in clinical rounds, and OSCEs.

Main Results:

Students and faculty developed clearer perceptions of diverse professional roles and improved communication.
Participants gained a deeper understanding of how professional contributions impact elder care.
Enhanced appreciation for elders' perspectives and their community contributions was observed.

Conclusions:

The interprofessional program proved successful in fostering collaboration and understanding.
The primary challenge is scaling this educational model to accommodate a larger student cohort.
Further development is needed to expand the reach of this valuable interprofessional learning experience.
