Abstract
Objective To create an IPE course that achieved knowledge gains related HIV history, prevention, and therapy, and improved interest and confidence in becoming an interprofessional collaborative clinician, specifically around the care of people living with HIV.
Methods A motivational design framework was used to design an interprofessional course, incorporating whole task complex scenarios, team-based application, and experiential components. Multiple sources of quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed.
Results Fifteen students from medicine, nursing, and pharmacy participated in 2017 and 21 students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work participated in 2018. In both offerings, students rated the course experience positively and self-reported increases in confidence related to interprofessional competencies. Ninety-three and eighty-six percent of the students stated they planned to be involved in HIV care to some degree in their future in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Using questions from the AIDS Training & Education Center National HIV Curriculum, students demonstrated high levels of knowledge proficiency at the end of the 2018 offering.
Conclusion This educational design is an effective learning experience and sustainable interprofessional format.
