“Removing the home court advantage”: A qualitative evaluation of LEGO® as an interprofessional simulation icebreaker for midwifery and medical students
Using LEGO® as an icebreaker activity enabled open discussion and connection, promoting easy-going conversation and aiding a collaborative team-building process before students worked together in an interprofessional birthing simulation workshop. The findings indicated that the icebreaker activity enhanced the students' awareness and appreciation of learning about each other's perspectives, values and roles for future collaboration in the clinical workplace.
