Use of a Standardized Patient Team Experience to Improve Student Interprofessional Collaboration and Teamwork

The SPTE fosters appreciation of interprofessional collaboration in patient care. While most students reported satisfaction, variability by profession suggests tailored experiences may optimize engagement. Future iterations will refine facilitator training and explore team composition's influence on student experience. We hope these detailed SPTE instructions enable other institutions to incorporate a similar activity in their programs.

Abstract

The SPTE fosters appreciation of interprofessional collaboration in patient care. While most students reported satisfaction, variability by profession suggests tailored experiences may optimize engagement. Future iterations will refine facilitator training and explore team composition's influence on student experience. We hope these detailed SPTE instructions enable other institutions to incorporate a similar activity in their programs.
