Evaluating a simulation-based interprofessional education activity on disaster preparedness and management among health professions students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simulation-based education offers a risk-free platform to prepare future health professionals for interprofessional collaboration during high-stakes emergencies. This study involved the design, implementation, and evaluation of a disaster-focused simulation to enhance interprofessional competencies among health professions students.

Methods

An interprofessional education (IPE) simulation covering the four disaster preparedness and management phases (mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery) was conducted for undergraduate health professions students. Students, assessors, and standardized patients (SPs) participated in the evaluation. Data on interprofessional competencies were collected from students using the Team's Perception of Collaborative Care Questionna
