Preparing graduate students for collaborative practice in chronic care: a mixed-methods evaluation of an interprofessional student-led education module
Mixed-methods evaluation demonstrates significant improvement in interprofessional socialization and awareness among students, indicating the effectiveness of IPE.
Key Points
Significant improvement in interprofessional socialization was observed among students after participating in the module.
Students from Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences showed the lowest baseline awareness but demonstrated significant growth post-module.
A mixed-methods pre- and post-test design was applied using questionnaires and reflection reports from participants.
Early building of awareness in health-related curriculums is crucial for fostering interprofessional socialization later on.
