In this workshop the personal importance given to one's professional group dominated and hindered the opportunity for interprofessional group working and this reflected our experiences in IP-SBE more widely. Belonging to an 'in-group' is a strong force that, although at times a negative force, could be used to promote the ambitions of IP-SBE. IP-SBE sessions could look to form an 'in-group' based on a characteristic that is not clinical professional background and in doing so be more successful in attaining the aspirations of IPEC and the interprofessional educational community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48753,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Simulation in Nursing","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 101652"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142703935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
