Abstract
Occupational therapy (OT) students who participated in a specific Interprofessional Education (IPE) experience called the Interprofessional Team Immersion (IPTI) were the participants in this content analysis. The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding into the application of IPE core competency domain behaviors and to what extent they were evident during an on-campus health care simulation for occupational therapy students at a private, non-profit University. The aim of this study was twofold: 1) to examine feedback to assess and inform our institution, as well as others about how to strengthen and sustain interprofessional learning through simulation IPE (Sim-IPE) experiences, and 2) to examine the influence of learning and applying the IPE competencies during a team, case-based health care simulation. To determine whether occupational therapy students applied IPE core competencies during a team-based healthcare simulation, the Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR) was utilized for analyzing and scoring team-based simulation videos for the core competency domains of Communication, Roles and Responsibilities and Team Functioning. The results show promising evidence that OT students are applying IPE core competency behaviors during health care simulation experiences as part of an interprofessional team. Specifically, behaviors associated with all three domains were observed. OT students demonstrated behaviors associated with Communication, followed by Team Functioning, then Roles and Responsibilities in terms of consistent and the influence of behaviors during simulation experiences. Implications for strategies for the sustainment or IPE, and IPTI and leadership conclusions are discussed.| Keywords: Interprofessional education, Interprofessional competencies, occupational therapy students, simulation
