Summary
Interprofessional education training significantly improved pharmacy students' confidence and value for teamwork. This collaborative approach enhances patient care through better interprofessional practice and skills development.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Pharmacy Education
- Interprofessional Collaboration
Background:
- Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for healthcare teams to improve patient care.
- Pharmacy training programs often face challenges in implementing effective IPE.
- IPE fosters collaboration among diverse healthcare disciplines.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of a 30-hour interprofessional training program on pharmacy students.
- To determine if the training enhanced pharmacy students' knowledge and skills in team-based healthcare.
- To evaluate the development of interprofessional competencies among pharmacy trainees.
Main Methods:
- A 30-hour IPE program involving graduate trainees from pharmacy, behavioral health, nursing, and family medicine.
- Sixteen pharmacy trainees participated, completing pre- and post-tests over two years.
- Utilized the Team Skills Scale and Interprofessional Attitudes Scale for data collection.
Main Results:
- Pharmacy trainees reported significant increases in their ability to work effectively in healthcare teams.
- Participants demonstrated a greater appreciation for the value of interprofessional practice post-training.
- Paired sample t-tests confirmed statistically significant improvements in team skills and attitudes.
Conclusions:
- The interprofessional training program positively impacted pharmacy students' readiness for collaborative practice.
- IPE is effective in building essential skills and fostering positive attitudes towards teamwork in future pharmacists.
- This training model supports the development of interprofessional education competencies vital for modern healthcare.

An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...
