Evaluation of interprofessional learning among medical and pharmacy students using a virtual patient simulation

This paper presents the use of a virtual patient simulation to encourage interprofessional engagement in undergraduate medical and pharmacy students. Twenty students from each discipline were selected to participate in the study, and invited to complete the simulation on their own or in cross-disciplinary pairs. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale, which considers attitudes towards teamwork and collaboration, professional identity, and roles and responsibilities, was used to assess the students' attitudes towards interprofessional engagement pre- and post-simulation. These results are presented and discussed.
