Interprofessional Education Activities for Students in Physician Assistant, Clinical Psychology, and Athletic Training Programs Utilizing Aspects of Team-Based and Problem-Based Learning Practices.

Interprofessional education (IPE) allows two or more professionals to learn from one another through partnership to improve patient outcomes. Implementation of IPE varies within health profession programs and universities, requiring programs to develop IPE activities that adhere to specific learning objectives or accreditation standards. These activities were a preliminary investigation on the feasibility of IPE activities at an institution with no substantial IPE infrastructure. Students integrated aspects of team-based learning (TBL), problem-based learning (PBL), and didactic components into diverse simulated patient cases with health profession students to develop skills in interdisciplinary patient-centered care. Lessons learned and future directions are discussed.
