About this trial

The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of interprofessional education program (IPEP) for healthcare students in clinical placement in MPCC on interprofessional collaboration (IPC), comparing the acquisition of interprofessional collaboration skills in students receiving IPEP during their MPCC placement with those in their MPCC placements without this IPEP.

The IPEP will be delivered by trainers (health professionnals from the MPCC) who receive a train the trainer program.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

MPCC signatories to the interprofessional conventional agreement with the French national health insurance system.

Volunteer to take part in the FLIRT MSP Study.

MPCC with GPs who are habilitated to supervise internship family medicine students.

MPCC volunteer to receive healthcare students from different professions including at least one GP intern.

Disqualifiers

MPCC who are unable to form an internship training team or to commit to IPE as stipulated in the protocol will not be included in the MSP intervention group.

For the qualitative study, students who do not volunteer or are unavailable for interview will not be included in the FLIRT qualitative component.

Trial population

Participants in this study will be : * General medicine internship students in Level 1 (7th year) who complete 6-month internships with GPs. * Midwifery students doing internships with independent midwives. * Occupational therapy students who do internships with occupational therapists in private practice. * Pharmacy students (6th year), who complete 6-month internships in community pharmacies. * Other students doing clinical placements in MPCCs. A minimum of 48 students are expected to complete internships in MSPs as part of the intervention group. An equivalent number of at least 48 MSP students in the control group is planned.

3

Analysis of the experience and feelings of students who have benefited from the IPEP on placement concerning their training and their vision of interprofessional collaboration (qualitative study).
