Abstract
Interest in interprofessional education (IPE) has not only stood the test of time, but has been steadily growing. However, very limited literature exists on the IPE experiences of undergraduate students. This manuscript follows the recommendations offered by the Replicability of Interprofessional Education template related to course development and implementation. Data analysis revealed that a course can increase undergraduate students’ interprofessional (IP) competencies. It also supported the use of faculty evaluation of skill development. The article makes several recommendations for improving the IPE pedagogy to further enhance competency development.
