Practical training in hospitals is a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the work of other healthcare professionals; however, few hospitals offer interprofessional education (IPE) during the regular training period. Therefore, we conducted a clinical IPE program with nursing students to assess the educational effect for pharmacy students during the regular training period in Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital. A pharmacy student and a nursing student were in charge of the same patient, and an IPE conference was held by a joint team of students. Before and after the clinical IPE, we assessed the IPE’s operational readiness using the Japanese version of the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and further investigated the clinical IPE’s degree of achievement and impression as well as barriers to other healthcare professionals. RIPLS of pharmacy students showed a significant change in more than 80％ of the items, and all objectives of the training subjects increased. Judging by the pharmacy students’ feedback, they appeared to be highly satisfied with the clinical IPE. Thus, when students from nursing faculties participate in the training period of clinical practice in the hospital, we should conduct clinical IPE.
