Interprofessional Education in Healthcare: Building Stronger Teams for Better Care 7:43

26 weeks fa7:43

7:43

This podcast discusses an article that examines the effect of introducing interprofessional education (IPE) concepts on students from various healthcare disciplines in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study, conducted at the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) in collaboration with the University of Sharjah (UoS), implemented an IPE intervention based on the principles of Situated Learning Theory (SLT) and evaluated its impact on student readiness for interprofessional learning and collaboration. The results demonstrate that the IPE intervention significantly increased students' self-assessed readiness for cross-disciplinary learning and collaboration, particularly in areas of teamwork, communication, and professional identity. The authors conclude that IPE interventions aligned with SLT can be beneficial for improving future health professionals' capacity for interdisciplinary collaboration, ultimately contributing to enhanced quality of care and patient outcomes. https://doi-org.mbru.idm.oclc.org/10.1186/s12909-022-03571-9…
