Abstract
We investigated the impact of a health sciences centre-wide, high-fidelity, simulation-based interprofessional team training program on participants’ knowledge, skills and attitudes towards teams and teamwork. Senior medical, nurse anaesthesia and allied health profession students participated in dual-scenario, simulation-based, interprofessional team training sessions with immediate debriefings about team-based competencies (2015–2017). Pre- and post-intervention, students completed the Interprofessional Teamwork (IPT) questionnaire and the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). Observers and students rated team performance using the Teamwork Assessment Scales (TAS). Descriptive statistics were determined for IPT and RIPLS items and TAS subscales; student Students from five health professions participated ( A health sciences centre-wide high-fidelity, simulation-based, interprofessional team training program improves students’ team-based behaviours, teamwork attitudes and interprofessional learning attitudes. Widespread adoption of such large-scale team training programs has the potential to improve teamwork among healthcare providers over time.
