Feasibility of peer-assisted interprofessional learning between pharmacy and exercise physiology students in providing integrated care
In summary, this study indicated effectiveness of interprofessional PAL activity between pharmacy and exercise physiology undergraduates from different institutions, which improved the students' perception in IPE and competency in exercise prescription. Future curricula should prioritize interprofessional simulation and integrated care planning, expand the number and diversity of simulation cases with brief preparatory teaching, and integrate medication-exercise interactions, special populations, and referral considerations to strengthen interprofessional teamwork.
