Objectives Methods Survey Participation by Program Conclusions ResultsSurvey results indicate an increase in student confidence and preparedness for interprofessional teamwork during the 2014 UNE IPSAT case competition. Survey research was limited by a small number of completed surveys, a delay in IRB approval and unfamiliarity with the IRB suggested survey software. IPSAT student leaders at UNE will continue to require completion of the IHI Open School Basic Certificate as a prerequisite for enrollment in future IPSAT case competitions.The Interprofessional Student Advisory Team (IPSAT) at the University of New England (UNE) organized its 2 nd interprofessional student case competition, modeled after the CLARION competition from the University of Minnesota. Completion of an online certificate in patient safety and quality improvement from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Open School was added as a pre-requisite to participation in the 2014 competition. Completion of this program was predicted to improve student preparedness, confidence and facilitate interprofessional teamwork during their case preparation.Student recruitment for the 2014 IPSAT case competition occurred by email invitation to all health profession students and campus poster advertising. Interested students received links to IHI and directions for coursework completion. Twenty-four students completed the courses and were eligible to be assigned to an interprofessional team. IPSAT student leaders developed survey questions for these students to self-assess their confidence and knowledge before assignment to an interprofessional team and then again after the six week period of working with their respective teams. UNE IRB application was submitted and exemption status approval received. An electronic survey was prepared using REDcap® survey software. Basic Certificate Results
