Abstract
  • Objective: To identify factors that affect teamwork and communication skills development among interprofessional teams of health professional students in a simulation based course. Methods: 3 cohorts of 2-3 student teams completed 3-4 evaluated simulations. Interprofessional communication and teamwork skills were evaluated using a 16-question tool that awarded 0-2 points per question. Anomalies in team score trends were matched to course schedules coded by types of course activities. Results: Average team scores were 84.38%, 100% and 100% in 2011; 48.96%, 97.92%, 92.71% and 97.92% in 2012; and 72.92%, 98.96%, 98.96% and 100% in 2013. In 2012, individual team scores were 100%, 100% and 78.13% for Simulation #3 and 100%, 96.88% and 96.88% for Simulation #2. Simulations #2 and #3 in 2012 were 6 weeks apart. Conclusion: To maintain a high level of competency in teamwork and communication skills, interprofessional teams should consider doing simulations at least once every 4 weeks.
