Presenting at CAB 2025:
Inter-professional simulation training is not available at all medical campuses. Role play, while not a substitute for actual IPE, provides pre-clinical students with an early understanding of other healthcare roles, enhancing their knowledge of basic roles within the healthcare team before actual inter-professional experiences.
