Abstract
BackgroundNurses and social workers are frontline providers to at-risk patients of substance and alcohol abuse but have limited education. MethodsA one-semester program incorporated multimodal education and simulated patients teaching graduate nursing and social work students SBIRT and interprofessional skills. Students completed the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Assessment Scale pre- and post-program measuring interprofessional competencies. ResultsOne hundred graduate students (58 social work, 42 nursing) participated across two cohorts. There was significant increase in total competency post-program, t(99) = 7.19, p < .001, and among all subscales. ConclusionMultimodal education with simulation increases graduate students’ interprofessional competency, preparing them for careers with at-risk patients.
