Interprofessional learning in an international context: the unfamiliar as impetus for learning, also about oneself.

Studying experiences of interprofessional learning (IPL) in international contexts can contribute to better understand its nature. The aim of this study was to evaluate students' IPL in the context of a two-week study-abroad program. There were 28 health-care students from Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan, who participated in a two-week interprofessional education program provided by Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, from 2013 to 2016.
