Jointly discussing care plans for real-life patients: The potential of a student-led interprofessional team meeting in undergraduate health professions education.

Background: Interprofessional education is promoted as a means of enhancing future collaborative practice in healthcare. We developed a learning activity in which undergraduate medical, nursing and allied healthcare students practice interprofessional collaboration during a student-led interprofessional team meeting.

Design And Delivery: During their clinical rotation at a family physician's practice, each medical student visits a frail elderly patient and prepares a care plan for the patient.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among an internet panel. A questionnaire was sent to a sample of 227 panelists in October 2006.
