How interprofessional simulation supports medical students' transition to clinical practice.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Interprofessional education (IPE) improves outcomes for staff and patients, yet most pre-licensure training remains siloed. Simulation-based education (SBE) enhances clinical and communication skills, with particular benefit during transitions in training. While immersive simulation is costly, could integrating IPE and SBE at key transition points optimize its educational impact? This study explores how interprofessional simulation can support transitions to practice, and what unique value it can contribute to the learning experience.

Methods

This phenomenological study explored medical students' experience of an interprofessional SBE programme. Adopting a sequential, mixed-methods design, students were asked about their experiences of participating in interprof
