The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between readiness and perception of students towards inter-professional learning. A correlation, cross-sectional study was done with Two hundred and eighty five undergraduate Nursing and Paramedical students from Jan, 2018 to May, 2018. Convenient sampling was used to collect data. The Readiness for Inter-Professional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) were used to measure the readiness and perception of students regarding inter-professional leaning. The data were analyzed using software Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) (Version 21). Spearman rho correlation test was used to explore the relationship of variables. The results showed statically significant positive correlation between the readiness and Perception of students regarding inter-professional learning (p=.000). This study indicated that there is strong positive correlation between readiness and perception of students towards inter-professional learning but students have least response towards team work and collaboration.

Summary
Nurses are the most important person in health care settings who spend more time with the patient and give nursing care to the patient in cooperation with doctors and other health care personals (Keshtkaran et al, 2014). Inter-professional learning is the most important thing to achieve maximum health care outcome for the patient. We should emphasize in nursing, medical and paramedical disciplines on interprofessional education to promote team work and collaboration among health care professionals (Keshtkaran, Sharif, & Rambod, 2014). In the present era as world is advancing diseases are going to advance day by day. It is not possible for a single person to provide complete health care to patient.
