“IPE is Key”: Qualitative Findings of a Foundational Interprofessional Education Readiness Activity with Nursing and Health Information Management Students

This study underscores the need for early and continuous IPE exposure to enhance students' understanding of IPC. While the "IPE is Key" workshop improved readiness, focus group findings suggest that sustained, structured interactions across disciplines are essential for fostering collaborative competencies. Future research should explore long-term impacts of IPE interventions and strategies to bridge the gap between clinical and non-clinical health professions.
