Abstract
Abstract Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is an established tool for training providers for critical situations. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS®) is a program developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Department of Defense to improve teamwork. Previous work has demonstrated the effectiveness of SBME in stroke team performance among neurology residents and ICU nurses.1 Our objective was to develop a simulation–based interprofessional education (IPE) program for nursing and medical students on stroke team performance. Using a quantitative descriptive one group pretest/posttest design, stroke care, TeamSTEPPS® knowledge and attitudes toward IPE were assessed. After an initial survey, students were given online modules on stroke care and TeamSTEPPS®. Students were randomly assigned groups before participating in 2 high-fidelity simulations. During simulation, faculty assessed students using standardized checklists focusing on stroke management and teamwork. Participating faculty underwent 1-h interrater reliability training as well as 30-day just-in-time training between student cohorts. 147 students (n = 51 medical students and n = 96 nursing students) participated. Improvement was seen in knowledge assessment, cumulative psychomotor scores, and each affective item (p
