A structured, incremental interprofessional education (IPE) approach enhances student competence. This immersive program fosters collaboration and improves readiness for evidence-based, person-centered healthcare delivery.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Learning
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for healthcare professionals, emphasizing interdependency and theoretical foundations.
- Incremental IPE experiences, integrated into curricula, foster continuous development of interprofessional competence.
- A structured, school-wide immersion approach over two years incorporated five core IPE experiences for progressive learning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a structured, incremental interprofessional education program.
- To assess the impact of a 2-year, five-core IPE experience on student learning.
- To provide insights for designing effective IPE programs to improve healthcare outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Exploratory mixed-methods approach during the 2018-2019 academic year.
- Voluntary, anonymous student feedback collected after each of five core IPE experiences.
- Quantitative data from the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) and qualitative data from open-ended survey questions.
Main Results:
- High mean IEPS scores were observed, with a positive trend across the five core experiences.
- Core II showed a mean score of 5.15, and Core V achieved the highest mean score of 5.44.
- Qualitative themes supported and provided depth to the quantitative findings, highlighting key aspects of the learning experience.
Conclusions:
- Developing trust and mutual respect among healthcare professionals is vital for evidence-based, person-centered care.
- IPE learning experiences, grounded in theory, significantly contribute to student development.
- This structured immersion program offers a model for health professions programs to enhance IPE, improve healthcare standards, and prepare a collaborative workforce.
