Popis: Interprofessional education (IPE) has become a cornerstone within the health sciences as a strategy to enhance communication and collaboration among health professions students. The Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) partners with the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP) of the University of Sciences to deliver free healthcare to uninsured residents of Camden, NJ at the Cooper Rowan Clinic (CRC). The clinic incorporates a longitudinal workflow model that seeks to deliver high-quality patient care and serve as a platform for IPE. This article describes the organization of the CRC, which accommodates close to 400 learners in a restricted space while maintaining the IPE component. The quality of the learning experience was evaluated by comparing data from medical student course evaluations over a 3 year time period. Data suggests that the current model resulted in a statistically significant improvement in medical student satisfaction and can therefore be used as an example for other student clinics looking to implement IPE within their workflow system.
