An Exploration of Student Perception Toward Interprofessional High-Fidelity Clinical Simulation.

Objectives: Interprofessional education is recognized for its potential for collaboration and teamwork, reflecting clinical practice; however, existing literature for simulation-based interprofessional education does not include Physician Associate (PA) students. This initiative aimed to explore the students' perception of interprofessional clinical simulation for PA students and allied health professional (AHP) students as part of our program development.

Methods: A high-fidelity simulation session was designed and conducted for volunteering students from the PA, paramedic science, and physiotherapy courses.

Technical factors can impact on remote consultations in rheumatology: results from a service evaluation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, there have been changes in clinical practice to limit transmission, such as switching from face-to-face to remote consultations. We aimed to study the influence of technical factors on remote consultations in our experience during the pandemic. 12 clinicians completed data collection forms after consultations, recording the technology used (video vs phone); technical problems encountered; discharge or subsequent appointment status; and technical aspects of the consultation process using 0-10 numerical rating scales (NRS) (Time Adequate; Relevant History; Physical Exam; Management Plan; and Communication Quality).
