How interprofessional simulation supports medical students’ transition to clinical practice

Interprofessional simulation offers students immersive, emotionally resonant experiences that enhance confidence, professional identity, and integration into clinical teams. These simulations prompt reflection on future roles and foster deeper understanding of interprofessional dynamics. The study identifies specific attributes of simulation that meaningfully contribute to learning, extending current SBE literature. By using a qualitative lens, this research highlights the unique value of interprofessional SBE in preparing students for collaborative practice and the complexities of modern healthcare.
