Detailed Description and Purpose of the IPE Experience
This module, embedded within the Understanding Patients Within Populations (PWP) clinical experience, was developed by the MD curriculum team and the Office of Interprofessional Practice and Education to support the development of interprofessional collaborative competencies in medical students. Through structured clinical engagement, guided reflection, and facilitated group discussion, students explore and analyze their interprofessional experiences. Reflective writing samples from four cohorts were assessed using the Griffith University Affective Learning Scale to evaluate changes in attitudes, values, and appreciation for collaborative practice. The module is low-resource, scalable, and offers a practical approach to integrating interprofessional education into clinical clerkships.
