“…Only in the studies by Wilby et al and Khalafalla et al did pharmacy and dietetics students have the opportunity to work together without the participation of students from other disciplines [ 26 , 29 ]. Wilby et al described a one-day course-based voluntary IPE session in which students were given a case of a patient with Crohn’s disease and aimed to develop a care plan taking into account nutritional and pharmacological issues.…”

“…The authors did not specify why they chose to include these two professions in the interprofessional course. The teaching method used in this course was team-based learning (TBL) [ 29 ]. Although only pharmacy and dietetics students attended the course, the curriculum was facilitated by a team consisting of a registered dietitian, a clinical pharmacist, a paediatrician and a cardiovascular researcher.…”

“…Four studies (Kent et al, Khalafalla et al, Bhattacharya et al, Van Diggele et al) mentioned specific learning outcomes achieved by students upon completion of the course [ 25 , 29 – 31 ]. Six of the included studies defined subject areas (e.g., childhood obesity) or skills that students were expected to develop through participation in a course (e.g., cultural competency).…”

Introduction Interprofessional education (IPE) is an integrative approach that enables collaboration of students of two or more different health professions in aim to acquire skills and competencies related not only to their field of study but also to ensure the standard of care based on collaborative practice. IPE has not yet been explored in relation to collaboration between dietetics-nutrition and pharmacy students, while there is evidence that in many cases nutrition is complementary to pharmacotherapy in the treatment process. Aim The aim of this scoping review was to gather, describe and discuss all relevant literature regarding joint interprofessional training of pharmacy and dietetics-nutrition undergraduates. Methods We performed a literature search for studies where IPE between dietetics-nutrition and pharmacy students was described. 2204 articles on this topic were identified. After eligibility assessment, 8 articles were included in the review. Results Eight studies were included in the review. Two of these described IPE activities between dietetics and pharmacy students only. The included studies varied in setting, methodology and outcome measures and covered a wide range of topics relevant to clinical practice, such as management of inflammatory bowel diseases, care of the older adults or counselling skills. The most common teaching method was the use of case studies. Some of the included studies did not identify specific learning objectives. The most common way of gathering feedback from participants was through questionnaires and interviews. Conclusions IPE of pharmacy and dietetics-nutrition students is feasible and may be beneficial in many aspects related to learning. However, there is no well-established model or standard that would facilitate the implementation of such activities in individual educational institutions.

“…Team-based learning (TBL) has, for example, been used successfully in providing interprofessional education relating to nutrition and lifestyle interventions [30,31] but is less tried and tested in the field of practice improvement in preventing and managing malnutrition. In other fields of healthcare, TBL has been shown to engage students in authentic experiences of working in teams to solve real-life clinical problems [29].…”

Previous and forthcoming chapters describe how to improve nutrition care with an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. Developing and improving the skills and knowledge of the interdisciplinary team through interprofessional education are essential for embedding evidence-based, collaborative, nutritional care. This capacity building in turn supports delivery of effective nutritional care for older adults.
