Abstract
Simulation-based interprofessional education (IPE) is challenging to implement, especially on rural campuses. This article describes an innovative approach to IPE implementation using telehealth technology. Twenty-nine interdisciplinary students (nursing, pharmacy, and medical) participated in a simulation-based IPE scenario using a telehealth robot. Student experiences were evaluated using a mixed-methods approach. Surveys and video-recorded debriefing sessions revealed the majority of students felt the experience was superior to their previous IPE experiences, facilitated better understanding of disciplinary roles, and provided experience using telehealth tools. Programs considering this approach should have strong community partnerships, institutional support, and shared vision among key stakeholders.
