Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Interprofessional Collaboration
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Effective interdisciplinary collaboration (IPC) is vital for patient outcomes but remains challenging.
  • Medical education often lacks sufficient focus on understanding diverse healthcare roles.
  • This study addresses the need to improve IPC skills among future physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an interprofessional elective for medical students.
  • To assess the impact on medical students' understanding of registered nurse (RN) roles.
  • To enhance collaboration between medical students and RN facilitators.

Main Methods:

  • An 80-hour, two-week clinical elective was implemented for third- and fourth-year medical students.
  • Students were paired with RNs in acute care settings to learn about nursing roles and communication.
  • Pre- and post-surveys assessed knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding IPC among students and nurses.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements were noted in perceptions of nursing roles and interdisciplinary communication.
  • Medical students showed increased comfort communicating with nurses and better understanding of nursing duties.
  • Nurses reported greater appreciation, and physicians acknowledged the importance of understanding nursing workflows.

Conclusions:

  • The interprofessional elective provided valuable insights into nursing workflows and improved interprofessional communication.
  • Findings suggest fostering mutual respect and support the expansion of similar educational initiatives.
  • Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of such programs on collaborative behaviors.
