Interpersonal social skills have been deemed necessary for student success in clinical education. Political skill is one interpersonal skill that may be particularly valuable in healthcare students in interprofessional practice. This research used a mixed methods experimental design to determine the effects of a training program on political skill and evaluate participants' perceptions of political skill training. An experimental group (N = 12) and control group (N = 14) of interprofessional students participated in a two-part live training session in political skill, which included group discussion, role play, reflection, and case-based application. Both groups showed statistically significant increases in political skill following the training intervention (Treatment: p = .005; Control: p < .001). Qualitative analysis revealed participants perceived political skill training offered benefits across three main categories: the Personal Healthcare Provider, the Patient, and the Healthcare Network. Findings indicate an evidence-based training program can improve self-ratings of political skill and interprofessional students' perceptions of the value of such training in teamwork experiences and overall, as a healthcare professional.
