| Annotation | The development of effective interprofessional teams is important in managing older people's complex health care needs. Although students are expected to function within interprofessional teams on graduation, they receive limited experience in their education. This article describes an interprofessional education experience, the purpose of which was to develop knowledge and skills about team functioning. The students formed their own team within a clinical team based in a geriatric day hospital, role modelling behaviours from their tutors. They participated in weekly problem-based tutorials on issues concerning team functioning. Experience was evaluated with a feedback form, exit interviews, and taped team conferences. Despite the extra work load, students enjoyed the experience, and felt supported by other students to participate and take risks within the larger clinical team. Students recommended greater involvement by their tutors in the experience. |
