Participants were health professional students (physical therapy, pharmacy, dental and osteopathic medicine) 24 of whom were second-year students who had previously taken part in an IPE course (experimental group), and 22 of whom were third years that had not (control group).

AIHC Webinar Series: Nontraditional Partners for Interprofessional Education and Practice: Incorporation of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing and Athletic Training
Various external accreditors in the health professions have integrated IPE competencies into their standards, but there is limited information about integrating IPE into graduate curricula. Many of the IPE initiatives are based in medicine, pharmacy, nursing and other well-established health professions. However, professions such as psychiatric mental health nursing and athletic training are not always included. This webinar will present, and give examples of, how these professions can be included to add value to IPE programs.
