Early interprofessional education during study, using acute care simulation, may improve teamwork and communication between interprofessional team members on the long run.

Methods: A comparative sequential quantitative-qualitative study was used to understand interprofessional learning outcomes in nursing and medical students after simulation of acute care.

Learning mechanisms and outcomes of an interprofessional molecular pathology workshop for residents.

The developments in targeted therapies and molecular pathology have changed the classification of tumors and precision oncology. Pathologists and clinical scientists in molecular pathology and oncologists have regular multidisciplinary meetings and are responsible for translating molecular results into an appropriate treatment plan. This requires expertise and skills to be effective team players.
