Impact of IPE in Multidisciplinary Primary Care Centres on Collaborative Competency of Healthcare Students (FLIRT-MSP)

Impact of Interprofessional Education in Multidisciplinary Primary Care Centres on Collaborative Competency of Healthcare Students - Quasi-experimental Study

The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of interprofessional education program (IPEP) for healthcare students in clinical placement in MPCC on interprofessional collaboration (IPC), comparing the acquisition of interprofessional collaboration skills in students receiving IPEP during their MPCC placement with those in their MPCC placements without this IPEP.

The IPEP will be delivered by trainers (health professionnals from the MPCC) who receive a train the trainer program.

For the intervention group, 12 MPCC will be recruited. 3 professionals from each MPCC will be trained and will be responsible for implementing the IPEP for their students.

For the control group, 12 MPCC will be recruited. Students will carry out their clinical placement as usual.

Study method : A multimodal study with a quasi experimental multisite study before and after the IPEP and a qualitative study to explore students' perceptions of the IPC will be conducted.

Inclusion Criteria :

• MPCC signatories to the interprofessional conventional agreement with the French national health insurance system.
• Volunteer to take part in the FLIRT MSP Study.
• MPCC with GPs who are habilitated to supervise internship family medicine students.
• MPCC volunteer to receive healthcare students from different professions including at least one GP intern.
• Volunteer to form an interprofessional training team.

Exclusion Criteria:

• MPCC who are unable to form an internship training team or to commit to IPE as stipulated in the protocol will not be included in the MSP intervention group.
• For the qualitative study, students who do not volunteer or are unavailable for interview will not be included in the FLIRT qualitative component.
