Abstrakt: Healthcare degrees routinely provide interprofessional learning (IPL) opportunities for trainees to prepare them for practice. This study explored the use of simulated patient videos within IPL to develop student empathy and interprofessional readiness. A series of simulated patient videos were created for the clinical topics: diabetes, dementia, asthma, and falls. The videos followed each patient's disease trajectory over a sixto-18-month period. Pharmacy, nursing, occupational therapy, paramedic, and physiotherapy students, who attended the IPL teaching sessions, were asked to complete the Jefferson Empathy Scale for Health Professional Students (JSE-HPS) and the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) at the beginning and end of each IPL session. Students were also invited to attend a focus group. Mean total JSEHPS and RIPLS scores significantly increased. Students described the patient videos as reflective of real-life, engaging, and memorable. The IPL facilitated student learning and developed positive perceptions of each profession.
