Design and evaluation of an interprofessional education workshop series for preclinical and prelicensure health professional students.

Background: There are a variety of designs and implementation strategies reported for interprofessional education (IPE); however, most of these descriptions lack robust evaluations of interprofessional (IP) outcomes.

Interprofessional Education Activity: An IPE Workshop Series was implemented for preclinical and prelicensure students in eight health professions, consisting of four sessions: health professionals' roles and responsibilities (1A); introduction to patient safety (1B); IP diabetes management (2A); and IP pain management in the opioid epidemic (2B). For Workshops 2A and 2B, student perceptions of IPE were measured using the validated Students Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education Revised Version 2 and IP team care plans were assessed with a rubric.
