Knowledge and clinical application of anatomy and physiology (A&P) are fundamental for practicing healthcare professionals. This common educational requirement allows for the opportunity for interdisciplinary learning. Students from physiotherapy and occupational therapy participated in a series of interdisciplinary A&P cadaveric labs which was positively received with increased readiness for interprofessional learning.

Equine-assisted Services (EAS) have been utilized as an approach in healthcare and learning; however, its utility has not been investigated in the context of interprofessional team leadership development (ITLD). This pilot demonstrates the utility of learning with horses as an EAS method to foster development of key interprofessional leadership components.

This study explores interprofessional, patient, and care partner perspectives on airway safety, highlighting critical knowledge gaps and the need for standardized, patient-centered terminology. Through mixed-methods analysis, it emphasizes the importance of collaboration and shared understanding in reducing risks, improving outcomes, and foster team-based care for patients susceptible to respiratory compromise.

Ratings of teamwork for a student-led Interprofessional clinic were compared across student, facilitator, and client for correlation. Similarly, client ratings of teamwork and healthcare goal attainment were assessed for correlation.

This scoping review explores the use of think-aloud protocols in health professions education, examining their impact on clinical reasoning, decision-making, and behavioural skills. It highlights gaps in simulation reporting and provides recommendations for standardizing protocols, diversifying scenarios, and integrating technology to enhance learning across disciplines and experience levels.

Understanding students' perceptions of Interprofessional Education (IPE) is crucial for the effective development and implementation of IPE programs in educational institutions. Students entering health sciences programs in 2019 to 2022 were interested in IPE to help them foster patient-focused care or for their own personal learning.

Discover how innovative interprofessional education (IPE) activities enhance pharmacy students' competencies, confidence, and team behavior. This session explores online and in-person formats, collaborative design with nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and evaluation outcomes using ICCAS and C-ICE© instruments, offering practical strategies for advancing interprofessional collaboration in healthcare education.
