| Popis: | Introduction Collaborative practice improves patient outcomes and is a needed student skill. An interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) program was developed using community pharmacies, clinics, and emergency departments. This study's purpose was to assess student pharmacists' team attitudes and skill development after the IPECP using team observed structured clinical encounters (TOSCEs). Methods Nineteen pairs of fourth-year pharmacy and second-year physician assistant students practiced together in a community pharmacy (two days) and clinic or emergency department (two days). They completed TeamSTEPPS training and two team modules. Assessments included TOSCEs and pre/post attitude surveys. Results Students significantly increased all TOSCE domain skills with pre- to post-mean score (SD) of: team communications 3.0 (0.5) to 4.1 (0.5), collaboration 2.8 (0.6) to 4.0 (0.5), roles and responsibilities 2.4 (0.4) to 3.8 (0.5), patient-centered care 2.8 (0.5) to 4.1 (0.6), conflict management 2.8 (0.5) to 4.1 (0.6), team functioning 2.7 (0.6) to 3.9 (0.6), and global performance 2.8 (0.6) to 4.0 (0.5). Afterwards, students reported positive attitudes about team-based patient care. All students stated the experience increased patient and healthcare professional communication skills and understanding of patient problems, and decreased errors. Most students (84%) agreed team care increased interventions compared to individually provided care. Most students (84%) thought the experience was worthwhile, and 68% agreed the IPECP program should be continued. Conclusions This study supports that IPECP can be conducted in a community pharmacy and clinic or emergency department to improve student team skills as evidenced by documented team skills development during TOSCEs. |
