First do no 'pharm': Educating medical and pharmacy students on the essentials of medication management.

Background: Polypharmacy is a dilemma in modern medical practice and presents an opportunity for interprofessional collaboration. Our pilot project evaluated whether implementing an interprofessional education (IPE) session would influence awareness of interprofessional values/ethics, roles/responsibilities, communication, and teams/teamwork.

Interprofessional Education Activity: A dual-institution, multi-part IPE session on medication management was implemented with medicine and pharmacy students.
