A Novel Approach to Interprofessional Training: Lessons Learned From a Pilot Study of Virtual Student‐Centred, Student‐Led Interest Groups in the Urban Service Track/Area Health Education Center Program
Student interest groups show potential as an effective, low-cost approach for engaging students, teaching the value of serving populations with greatest need and teaching Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competency. Implementation may be enhanced by combining virtual and in-person interest group training with community-based training in team-based care to vulnerable communities.
