Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: The 2016 Standards of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education state that curricula must include opportunities for interprofessional education (IPE). This report describes a collaborative effort between a pharmacy program and a school of medicine to develop, implement, and evaluate an interprofessional workshop focused on collaborative disease management.
Educational Activity and Setting: A medical school course in diabetes management was identified as optimal for an IPE approach. One class session was designed to highlight the advantages of team-based care in diabetes management and describe the roles of members of an interprofessional healthcare team. Students were divided into groups to discuss cases and demonstrate diabetic device counseling. Students were surveyed before and after the IPE experience to examine their attitudes towards interprofessional learning.
Findings: We obtained matched pre and post-evaluations from 168 participants (138 medical students and 30 pharmacy students). Learner attitudes were positive overall, and improved from pre-test (M = 80.28, SD = 10.29) to post-test (M = 82.83, SD = 9.40, F = 14.92, df = 1, p < .001), suggesting more favorable attitudes to interprofessional learning after completing the class. Multivariate analysis indicated a significant main effect for learner profession, suggesting pharmacy students had more positive attitudes to interprofessinal learning both before and after the workshop.
Summary: Adding an IPE dimension to an existing medical school course had a positive impact on student perceptions of interprofessional practice, particularly for the pharmacy students who could demonstrate the value of their role on a team for patient care.
