Purpose: The concept of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) is increasingly used to operationalize learning in the clinical workplace, yet little is known about the emotions of learners feeling the responsibility when carrying out professional tasks.
Methods: We explored the emotional experiences of medical students in their final clerkship year when performing clinical tasks. We used an online reflective diary.
Aim: Interprofessional collaboration is particularly relevant to patient safety in outpatient care with polypharmacy. The educational project "PILLE" is meant to give medical and pharmacy students an understanding of the roles and competencies needed for cooperation in the provision of healthcare and to enable interprofessional learning.
Method: The curriculum is aimed at pharmacy and medical students and was developed in six steps according to the Kern cycle.
