Design and evaluation of an interprofessional education workshop series for preclinical and prelicensure health professional students.

Background: There are a variety of designs and implementation strategies reported for interprofessional education (IPE); however, most of these descriptions lack robust evaluations of interprofessional (IP) outcomes.

Interprofessional Education Activity: An IPE Workshop Series was implemented for preclinical and prelicensure students in eight health professions, consisting of four sessions: health professionals' roles and responsibilities (1A); introduction to patient safety (1B); IP diabetes management (2A); and IP pain management in the opioid epidemic (2B). For Workshops 2A and 2B, student perceptions of IPE were measured using the validated Students Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education Revised Version 2 and IP team care plans were assessed with a rubric.

Exploring second professional year pharmacy student reflections after an interprofessional shadowing experience with nursing students in critical care units: a qualitative study.

Accreditation standards for pharmacy and nursing education require interprofessional education (IPE) as a key component in both curricula. There is increasing evidence for using interprofessional shadowing as a learning modality for IPE; reflection can be used to enhance learning from these experiences. We explored pharmacy student-reported reflections from an interprofessional shadowing experience with nursing students through qualitative content analysis of reflective statements.

Designing and Evaluating an Interprofessional Practice Experience Involving Dental and Pharmacy Students.

To prepare pharmacy and dental students to collaborate as members of an interprofessional team by participating in an interprofessional practice experience. An interprofessional practice experience was implemented within a dental admissions clinic. Pharmacy and dental students collaboratively conducted medical histories and provided tobacco cessation education.

Impact of a novel interprofessional dental and pharmacy student tobacco cessation education programme on dental patient outcomes.

The dental setting presents a unique opportunity to assist patients with tobacco cessation. Many dental providers do not feel prepared to provide tobacco cessation, particularly with regard to education on pharmacological treatments. An interprofessional practice experience with dental and pharmacy students provides a novel approach to tobacco cessation in the dental setting, but it is not known whether such methods affect patient outcomes.

Nurses' attitudes and behaviors on patient medication education.

Background: Medication education is vital for positive patient outcomes. However, there is limited information about optimal medication education by nurses during hospitalization and care transitions.

Objective: Examine nurses' attitudes and behaviors regarding the provision of patient medication education.

Designing and Evaluating an Interprofessional Experiential Course Series Involving Medical and Pharmacy Students.

Objective. To prepare first-year and second-year pharmacy and medical students to build effective collaborative health care teams by participating in an interprofessional experiential 6-semester course series. Design.

"Collaborative-ready" students: Exploring factors that influence collaboration during a longitudinal interprofessional education practice experience.

A goal of interprofessional education (IPE) is to prepare "collaborative-ready" healthcare professionals to ultimately improve health outcomes. The objective of our study was to explore student-reported factors that influence collaboration within our longitudinal IPE experience. Twenty-five first-year pharmacy students and 50 first-year medical students enrolled in IPE courses were invited to participate in three focus groups.
