A high-fidelity pharmacology simulation improved pharmacy and nursing students' interprofessionalism and pharmacology knowledge. This interprofessional education activity demonstrated positive impacts on student perceptions and learning application.

Area of Science:

Health Professions Education
Interprofessional Education
Pharmacology Simulation

Background:

Pharmacology is a foundational science course for many health professions.
Interprofessional learning experiences in early curricula are beneficial but underreported.
High-fidelity simulations offer immersive educational opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility of an interprofessional high-fidelity pharmacology simulation.
To evaluate the simulation's impact on pharmacy and nursing students' perceptions of interprofessionalism.
To determine the effect on students' pharmacology knowledge and application skills.

Main Methods:

Pharmacy and nursing students participated in a high-fidelity patient simulation.

Keywords:

High-fidelity simulation Interprofessional education Pharmacology

Faculty-led debriefing sessions facilitated case discussion and collaboration.

Pre- and post-simulation surveys measured interprofessionalism perceptions and knowledge application.

Main Results:

Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams (ATHCT) scores significantly improved (p = 0.005).
Over 90% of students reported enhanced pharmacology knowledge post-simulation.
Students indicated improved ability to apply pharmacology knowledge.

Conclusions:

Interprofessional high-fidelity pharmacology simulation is feasible.
The simulation positively influenced students' perceptions of interprofessionalism.
This educational model can enhance pharmacology knowledge and its application.
