Exploring transformative learning for trainee pharmacists through interprofessional simulation: a constructivist interview study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The expanding roles of UK pharmacists have prompted substantial changes to the initial pharmacy education and training, including increasing recognition of the value of learning alongside other professional groups in acute settings. Interprofessional immersive simulation training appears to represent a useful educational tool to meet the evolving needs of the profession, but the impact of such training on workplace behaviour and relationships has not been explored. This study aimed to explore how interprofessional simulation training facilitates transformative learning in pre-registration pharmacists.

Methods

Across three different locations in Scotland, pre-registration pharmacists were paired with medical students to participate in immersive simulation scenarios
