Effects Of High-Fidelity Simulation On Student Perceptions Of Interprofessional Education, Trevor Stump, Mckenzie Shenk, Karissa C. Chow, Becky Brown

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Background: Interprofessional education is gaining momentum in healthcare education through the accreditation standards for various health professions and requirements from government initiatives like the Affordable Care Act. The role of high-fidelity simulation in healthcare education is growing and serves as a mechanism to implement interprofessional education.

Purpose: Assess the change in healthcare students’ perceptions of interprofessional education following a high-fidelity emergency medicine simulation.

Methods: Students from a medical, nursing, and pharmacy school participated in a high fidelity simulation event. There was first a brief presentation on interdisciplinary teamwork. The Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised 2 (SPICE-R 2) was administered …

Pharmacy Practice & Administration

Objective: To evaluate the reliability of a peer evaluation instrument in a longitudinal team-based learning setting.

Methods: Student pharmacists were instructed to evaluate the contributions of their peers. Evaluations were analyzed for the variance of the scores by identifying low, medium, and high scores. Agreement between performance ratings within each group of students was assessed via intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC).

Results: We found little variation in the standard deviation (SD) based on the score means among the high, medium, and low scores within each group. The lack of variation in SD of results between groups suggests that …
