Health Professional Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Learning at the Emory Farmworker Project, a Community Based Interprofessional Education Program
The Emory Farmworker Project (EFP) is an interprofessional service-learning program at Emory University where health professional students provide care to migrant farmworkers in the fields. PA and MD students participated in focus groups about the interprofessional nature of EFP and the impact of community-based, practical IPE on their clinical learning.
