What this trial studies
This multicenter observational study compares students who receive an interprofessional education program (IPEP) during their clinical placements at primary care centers with those who do not receive the program. A train-the-trainer approach will prepare selected professionals at each center to deliver the IPEP. The study uses before-and-after measurements and qualitative interviews to examine changes in interprofessional collaboration skills and student perceptions. Outcomes focus on collaboration competencies and student experiences across multiple sites in France. Participation is limited to centers and students who meet eligibility criteria and consent to the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could enhance collaboration among future healthcare professionals in primary care settings.
How similar studies have gone: Previous interprofessional education efforts have shown mixed but often positive effects on collaboration skills in health professions education.
