    Area of Science:

    • Health Professions Education
    • Interprofessional Education
    • Medical Simulation

    Background:

    • Effective interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for modern healthcare.
    • Traditional education models often lack sufficient interprofessional training.
    • Preparing students for team-based patient care requires innovative pedagogical approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a pilot project designed to prepare students from dental hygiene, physical therapy, and physician assistant programs for multidisciplinary teamwork.
    • To assess the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) in an interprofessional educational setting.
    • To foster collaboration and mutual understanding among students from different health science disciplines.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a three-phase pilot project involving dental hygiene, physical therapy, and physician assistant students.

  • Phase I: Introduction to discipline-specific knowledge, teamwork, and PBL concepts.
  • Phases II and III: Application of PBL to simulated and real patient cases, including comprehensive examinations.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in knowledge were found among disciplines after Phase I.
    • 100% of students found PBL effective for multidisciplinary learning.
    • Over 90% reported enhanced problem-solving, improved teamwork, and increased understanding of other disciplines.

    Conclusions:

    • The implemented PBL model is a viable strategy for preparing interprofessional healthcare teams.
    • This approach effectively enhances students' collaborative skills and interdisciplinary knowledge.
    • The project demonstrates a successful method for fostering effective teamwork in future healthcare professionals.
