Abstract
This curricular resource describes a method of interprofessional collaboration between nursing and physical therapy students. The purpose is to describe an experience using high fidelity simulation (HFS) to foster interprofessional collaboration and critical thinking in a mock critical care setting. Nursing and physical therapy students are introduced to HFS prior to interprofessional collaboration. A total of 79 students over 4 academic years evaluated the experience. Retrospective qualitative analysis from student reflections revealed the following themes: realistic, life-like learning experience; valuable learning tool; collaboration and teamwork; and reflection on action. HFS is a valuable tool to incorporate into curriculum to assess learning outcomes that are expected of health care professionals. Interprofessional collaboration could lead to stronger patient-centered care given the sharing of knowledge that occurs across disciplines.
