Abstract
The use of simulation and interprofessional education (IPE) has been shown to enhance healthcare student and provider confidence, strengthen teamwork, and improve patient outcomes. Although debriefing has been widely practiced and studied, the value of intentional pre-briefing has been recently recognized. At the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students engaged in a simulation with multiple acute care scenarios. The goal of this activity was to foster competence and confidence in coordinating care for patients with complex medical conditions while functioning as integral members of a team. Faculty members recognized an opportunity to practice interprofessional care coordination behaviors through this simulation. The activity was intentionally structured with three key components: (1) thorough advanced preparation, (2) a well-organized pre-briefing session encompassing pre-simulation orientation, and (3) a structured debrief that encouraged reflection on patient care prioritization. The simulation addressed the activity goals and provided students with opportunities for growth in the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies.
