Significance of Simulation-based Education for Effective Interprofessional Education Development

Abstract

Effective interprofessional work is basic component for developing competent medical team improves medical safety and patient outcome. In order to promote smooth interprofessional work in clinical environment, effective interprofessional education (IPE) is essential component in undergraduate medical education. Various attempts for IPE have been done worldwide. However, ethical, spatial, and economical problems are all barriers to IPE. We believe that simulation-based education can be a potential solution to resolve this problem.
