Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe the design and implementation a novel simulation interprofessional educational (Sim-IPE) activity. Healthcare students from medicine, nursing, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, biomedical science, and divinity programs were invited to participate in a Sim-IPE event. The students (n = 57) participated in a Halloween-themed event to learn more about one another's’ healthcare professions, develop an appreciation for the roles, responsibilities and similarities and differences in practice. Students reported the simulations were an effective and engaging methodology to learn about IPE. This innovative approach was well received by all students and lends itself to larger multi-institutional Sim-IPE activity or additional IPE events during their educational programs.
