Abstract

To encourage a collaborative practice environment, educators should im-plement interprofessional education (IPE) into the healthcare curriculum. The objective of this study was to assess students’ attitudes about inter-professional education by determining whether a short interprofessional program impacts their attitudes toward the roles and responsibilities of other healthcare professionals. Graduate students in nursing, pharmacy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy participated in a two-hour ori-entation program. Students completed a validated pretest and posttest. Significant changes from pretest to posttest were found (p < 0.001), except for one question which addressed the need to acquire more skills than others (p = 0.46). This study suggested that a short program can have a positive impact on student attitudes about IPE.
