Simulation has become an increasingly common mechanism of enhancing performance of technical and non-technicalskills. Despite it’s virtues being well known it remains a challenge to provide good quality inter-professional learning events during thestudent curricula.Summary of WorkA pilot one-day inter-professional education course consisting of pre-license medical and nursing students from two institutions wasdeveloped. The faculty consisted of nurses and physicians with formal teaching qualifications from the two institutions. The focus forhalf the day was on human factors and team building exercise. The students were introduced through interprofessional team meetingsthrough seminar-based instruction. The second half was spent participating in fifteen-minute role-played immersive simulations usingstandardised patients (actors) of acute medical emergencies where a collaborative approach was essential in managing thedeteriorating patient. Each scenario consisted of participation from two nursing student and medical and learning objectives wereassigned to respective curriculums. Structured feedback was given during a post event debrief. Student doctors and nursesconcurrently discussed their experiences, management plans and their perceived roles in the workplace as well as reflecting on whatthey had observed in the future workplaces. Qualitative data was collected during structured debrief sessions and post-course focusgroups and anonymous questionnaire, utilising a ten-point Likert scale.Summary of ResultsNine final year nursing students and three final year medical students voluntarily participated in this course. Students demonstratedincreased understanding of the role of their inter-professional colleagues (including communication, teamwork and role delineation).The collective students viewed the course as relevant for their future as practitioners. Participants also appreciated early explicitexposure to human factors and crisis resource management as well as clinical skills.Discussion and ConclusionsWe present a highly approved and active method of providing interpersonal collaborative learning, covering technical and non-technicalskills. Hopefully these skills will be taken into the postgraduate workplace.Take Home MessagesShared inter-professional learning through simulation is a useful method of teaching technical and non-technical factors
