“…This can lead to lone working and closed practice which could have a detrimental impact on patient outcomes. Interprofessional education is necessary to help foster collaborative practices and help improve patient outcomes [20,21]. Completing an interprofessional postgraduate award develops bridges to communicate outside of an individual profession and collaborate in an MDT.…”

Background There is a continual need for allied health professionals to maintain an active CPD portfolio for registration. Profession specific postgraduate studies have been shown previously to clinically enhance practice leading to extended scope and leadership roles. It is not well known though if completing an interprofessional, subject specific award has any impact on clinical practice. The aim of this paper was to retrospectively review what the clinical and professional practice impact was from gaining a postgraduate award in Clinical Biomechanics had on alumni’s practice. Methods 25 multidisciplinary alumni from Staffordshire University, Clinical Biomechanics suite of postgraduate awards, responded to a questionnaire designed to review any changes in clinical practice and the impact studying had had for participants. Results Thematic analysis of results highlighted trends in competency development and clinical impact of postgraduate study, indicating professional development and improved confidence in work interprofessional practices. Conclusion This study supports interprofessional cohorts of postgraduate study for a wider subject area, which has shown to enhance the evaluation of specific clinical practice whilst taking on a broader perspective of the topic, developing stronger and wider clinical conclusions.

“…In an effort to train future health professionals in these competencies, it is recommended that academic institutions utilize IPE events, during which two or more disciplines can learn together, from and about each other (WHO, 2010).There are a number of recent reports of successful IPE events involving OT and PA students as members of inter-disciplinary learner teams (Buhler et al, 2011;Guadagnoli & Miller, 2016;Hadley et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2019;Shoemaker et al, 2014;Weidman-Evans et al, 2017). Buhler et al (2011) described an interprofessional event for students in five different health professions programs, including OT and PA.…”

The importance of interprofessional education (IPE) has been emphasized by the World Health Organization and is currently required by both the occupational therapy (OT) and physician assistant (PA) education accreditation agencies in the United States. Moreover, a growing body of evidence suggests that IPE fosters learners' understanding of the roles different disciplines play in healthcare delivery and prepares future health professionals for patient-centered care. Authors designed and implemented an IPE event aimed to foster the following core Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies among graduate OT and PA students: Values/Ethics for Interprofessional Practice, Roles and Responsibilities, Interprofessional Communication, and Teams and Teamwork. The specific content of this event addressed pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment for older adult clients with complex clinical presentation (with emphasis on OT-and PA-specific clinical interventions) and incorporated a discussion of a clinical case study. Team-Based Learning approach, Jigsaw technique and role-play were used as teaching strategies during this activity. Students' perceptions of IPE were measured by administering the Students Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education Revised (SPICE-R) survey before and after the IPE event. This project is unique, because it incorporates a novel combination of teaching strategies to augment the IPE experience.

“…Copy@ Heather Braden always come naturally for each physical therapist, especially entry level therapists, so addressing the topic early and often throughout their education is essential. Studies have shown that introducing IPE early can increase students' attitudes and perception of the other health care providers they work alongside [8]. Not only do all professions need to respect their counterparts, but it is of the utmost importance that they understand their roles, responsibilities and scope of practice, as well as how to communicate with those who come from different backgrounds [8,11].…”

Interprofessional education for health science students’ attitudes and readiness to work interprofessionally: a prospective cohort study

Abstract: This study demonstrates that a single 4-hour interprofessional education session can improve interprofessional attitudes, knowledge of other professions, and perceived-readiness of health science graduate students to work interprofessionally and to work with older adults.
