Faculty training programs can improve interprofessional collaborative practice. An objective structured teaching exercise (OSTE) enhanced clinical teachers' ability to execute interprofessional education (IPE).
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Education
Background:
- Current faculty training programs require enhancement to effectively teach interprofessional collaborative practice.
- Existing training often emphasizes experiential learning and varied teaching strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a teaching model for applying interdisciplinary collaborative care.
- To improve clinical teachers' execution of interprofessional practices.
Main Methods:
- Assessed a teacher education curriculum for interprofessional education (IPE) among health-care faculty.
- Applied an objective structured teaching exercise (OSTE) to evaluate IPE execution.
Main Results:
- The OSTE demonstrated improvement in clinical teachers' IPE execution.
- This verifies the need for multistrategy teaching within faculty training.
Conclusions:
- The study offers diverse interprofessional faculty training and assessment methods.
- Developing an OSTE necessitates long-term planning; IPE integration into formal programs is recommended.
