This study examined OT student learning outcomes from an introductory longitudinal community-based IPE experience with other health professions learners and community volunteers. Results indicated students practiced several specific teamwork skills throughout the experience, and recognized how interprofessional teamwork and client-centered care will be skills to use in the future.
