Abstract:
High-fidelity simulation has proliferated in healthcare education. Once a novelty, simulation is now a mainstay of many curricula and even required by some accrediting bodies. Interprofessional behaviors, manifested through interprofessional education and practice are believed to improve patients' lives. The exciting potential of simulation-interprofessional education (SIM-IPE) is now being explored. This report details a SIM-IPE experience from a university medical simulation center and Schools of Nursing and Medicine. Circumstances required an existing scenario to be "retrofitted" for interprofessional education. Key decision points, challenges and practices are highlighted in the hope that they may be of use to other simulation educators.

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...
