Preparing graduate students for collaborative practice in chronic care: a mixed-methods evaluation of an interprofessional student-led education module.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interprofessional collaboration has become indispensable in chronic care. Embedding interprofessional education (IPE) in health-related curriculums can prepare students to be fit for practice in this interprofessional field. However, further research is required on the design of IPE to underpin and monitor modules. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-day, student-led interprofessional module in enhancing interprofessional socialization and awareness concerning the benefits of IPC in chronic care among students with differing health-related backgrounds (i.e., Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Health Care Management and Policy, Nursing and Midwifery, Occupational Therapy, and Health Promotion).
