Interprofessional practice is an essential component of healthcare delivery, addressing health conditions requiring multidisciplinary approach. An interprofessional team working together, utilizing the skills and interprofessional competencies is needed to perform the function seamlessly. Interprofessional education is therefore essential to develop a “practice-ready workforce”.

Methods

Quasi-experimental study done among 49 students. Module was prepared using scientific methods and implemented. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and observation checklist. Using the mean, frequency and percentage, and t-test, data were analyzed.

Results

There was increase in the knowledge (pretest mean 9.43±2.92; post-test mean 12.27±2.98) and competency (pretest mean 76.98±7.55; post-test mean 91.88±5.31) scores with moderately positive correlation between knowledge and competencies (p≥0.05). The study aligned with promotion of Sustainable Developmental Goals 3 “good health and well-being”, 4 “quality education” and 17 “partnerships for the goals”.
