Class of 2010 Abstract / OBJECTIVES: To determine how an interprofessional education (IPE) activity impacts students' attitudes toward interacting with other health professionals.
METHODS: Students who are enrolled as first-‐year students at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy in the Fall 2009 semester were eligible for this study. Questionnaires administered during regularly scheduled classes collected levels of agreement with statements relating to working with other health professionals and the importance of IPE. Data on gender, years of undergraduate study, current degrees, type of work experience, and years of work experience were also collected.
RESULTS: Questionnaires were completed by 93 students before the IPE activity and 66 students after the IPE activity. Overall, attitudes toward interprofessional learning and working with other healthcare professionals, reflected by student questionnaire ratings, were the same or worse after the IPE activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Attitudes toward interprofessional learning and working with other healthcare professionals appeared to have no change or changed for the worse after the IPE activity that took place on September 3, 2009.
