Abstract
ABSTRACT Workplace-based learning provides medical students exposure to interprofessional competencies through repeated exposures and active participation in interprofessional learning activities. Using Situated Learning Theory as our theoretical lens, we explored with medical students how interacting with existing interprofessional teams contributes to development of an expanded health care professional identity. An embedded mixed methods study using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires to assess readiness for interprofessional learning was conducted with 14 medical students completing an elective at an interprofessional pain medicine clinic. Within this workplace-based context, a model identifying key themes and supporting factors contributing to the development of an extended professional identity was developed. These findings help describe the processes by which students gain interprofessional collaboration competence.
