Abstract
BackgroundSimulation-based interprofessional education (IPE) improves teamwork, self-efficacy, and clinical preparedness among health profession students. MethodsA mixed-method design assessed differences in perceptions, knowledge, and skills related to a peer-led, acute care–focused IPE experience for 319 nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy students. ResultsAll students demonstrated an improvement in positive perceptions of teamwork and collaborative practice. Qualitative themes derived included the importance of teamwork, communication, and valuing other professions, increased understanding of the roles of other professions, and improved leadership skills. ConclusionsPeer-led simulation-based IPE effectively improved student attitudes, values, and beliefs regarding interprofessional collaboration and increased student understanding of professional roles in an acute-care environment.
