Impact of an interprofessional training on students' attitudes toward interprofessional education.

In Lausanne, Switzerland, Interprofessional Education (IPE) is embedded in the curriculum of every undergraduate healthcare student. Since 2011, five educational and healthcare institutions have implemented a short interprofessional education course to bring together 2307 undergraduates from six different disciplines (medicine, midwifery, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, medical radiology technician) between 2017 and 2020. This pre-post study aimed to explore how this course influenced students' attitudes toward IPE using a French translation of the validated questionnaire called the "University West of England Interprofessional Questionnaire.

Evaluating the impact of a blended interprofessional education course on students' attitudes towards interprofessional education: a pre-post study.

Background: Since 2011, five educational and healthcare institutions have implemented a short interprofessional education (IPE) course to bring together undergraduates from five disciplines. To meet the logistical challenges of IPE implementation, more specifically, the large number of classrooms needed to gather students together and the need for human resources to guide learning activities, a face-to-face IPE course was redesigned into a blended (online and face-to-face collaborative learning activities) IPE course. In March 2023, 183 medical, 378 nursing, 46 radiologic technology, 69 physiotherapy, and 74 occupational therapy students participated in a one-day IPE blended course to learn interprofessional team functioning and dynamics, role clarification and responsibilities of other professions, and interprofessional communication skills.

[Eosinophilia: from neoplastic disease to anguillulosis].

Hypereosinophilia (HE), defined as eosinophil count above 0.5 G/l in the peripheral blood. Most cases are secondary to other diseases.

[Thrombocytopenia in the critically ill patient].

Thrombocytopenia is associated with increased mortality rates in critically ill patients. It is especially present in cases of sepsis, but can also be caused by medications or associated with the use of foreign materials. Many physiological mechanisms (immune-mediated, consumption or destruction) are involved in the decrease of platelet count.
