Presenting at CAB 2025:
The Interprofessional Education (IPE) TEAMS Activities, adapted from the University of Toronto, were piloted among undergraduate nursing students during clinical placements. TEAMS 1 focused on understanding interprofessional roles, and TEAMS 2 on analyzing interactions. Findings suggested potential increases in interprofessional socialization and the need for better integration into nursing curriculums.
