Collaborative practice in the healthcare system is of global interest to become cost-efficient and adaptable towards health care needs due to more complex challenges and shortages in qualified health workers. Health-sciences education should provide interprofessional education to promote learning for collaborative practice in their curricula. The interprofessional training ward is one form of interprofessional education in the clinical setting. Previous studies in the field of interprofessional education focused on self-reports by students. The focus on students leads to a lack of the supervisor´s perspective in interprofessional education. The aim of this study is to get insides of the supervisor´s perspective on how they perceive their work. This study was conducted with a qualitative methods approach with semi-structured interviews. Main results of this study were in different areas. Power relations between managers, supervisors, and students show a big impact about supervisor´s work satisfaction from appreciation from the managers. Supervisors usually feel appreciated by students but lack of appreciation from managers can lead to distress and decreased satisfaction. Supervisors go through different stages during their work period: First they have low confidence in their job role, after a period of time they are confident, but after a long period of time they can get tired of their work. The conclusion is even though the interprofessional training wards have already a lot of positive aspects, the managers should always remember themselves to support this kind of setting. Without the support of the managers, the whole project decreases its quality and the supervisor’s satisfaction.
