Recruit student volunteers 3. Pre-test students using: a. Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) b. Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IPES) 4.

Create proposed curriculum to include small group didactic exercises and clinical rotations • 4. Coordinate protocols for clinical rotations with appropriate ED personnel • 5. Submit IRB process regarding research involving human subjects • 6. Obtain permissions for students to participate in program • Schedule didactic and clinical rotations • Establish baseline date regarding students’ interprofessional attitudes • Conduct didactic course • Obtain faculty/student reflections following rotation • Conduct post test of students’ interprofessional attitudes • Analyze results using a paired t-test • 13.. Based on results of pre-post test: • a. Modify curriculum as necessary • b. Recruit support of other schools Purpose Anticipated Strengths 1.
