Summary
Distance learning strategies enhance interprofessional education (IPE) simulation events, boosting student engagement and learning outcomes. Applying these methods improved collaboration, communication, and professional identity formation in students.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
- Simulation in Healthcare
Background:
- Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for healthcare.
- Traditional IPE methods may not fully engage all learners.
- Distance learning offers effective engagement strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the applicability of distance learning principles to IPE simulation.
- To enhance student engagement and learning in IPE events.
- To assess the impact on professional identity formation.
Main Methods:
- Incorporated distance learning strategies (real-world applications, self-directed learning, prior experience, communities of practice, emotional engagement) into an IPE simulation.
- Collected quantitative data via student ratings of learning objective accomplishment.
- Conducted qualitative thematic analyses of learner reflections.
Main Results:
- Student ratings for learning objectives exceeded 4.15±0.57.
- Thematic analysis identified 10 key areas: collaboration, communication, efficiency, knowledge, leadership, patient-centeredness, personal growth, roles, teams, and values/ethics.
- All 2023 Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) subcompetencies were reflected in student comments.
Conclusions:
- Distance learning principles effectively promote engagement in IPE simulation.
- These strategies help achieve learning objectives and enhance professional identity.
- This approach offers a valuable model for future IPE design.
