Student Evaluation of Interprofessional Experiences between Medical and Graduate Biomedical Students.

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) has fostered increased collaboration and appreciation for different disciplines among health professionals but has yet to be established in a translational research setting. Interprofessional experiences (IPEx) implemented early in student training could increase translational research productivity.

Methods And Findings: Ten students involved in an IPE curriculum wrote autoethnographic accounts that were coded and emergent themes were grouped through constant comparative analysis.

Integration of leadership training for graduate and medical students engaged in translational biomedical research: Examining self-efficacy and self-insight.

Introduction: Formal training in team leadership is not taught in biomedical research graduate training programs or medical schools.

Methods: We piloted a Leadership Training Workshop for graduate biomedical and medical students enrolled in our Interprofessional Research Design Course.

Results: The Kane-Baltes self-efficacy survey demonstrated improved leadership skills (median scores pretraining and post-training were 71 and 76.
