Students’ experiences of inter-professional education through International Classification of Functioning-based activities at a community-based rehabilitation centre
Abstract
Methods. Data were gathered from a retrospective review of student feedback forms from 2010 to 2012. Content analysis was employed to identify key themes regarding IPE.
Results. Inter-professional learning was found to occur spontaneously between the four allied health professions as a result of the ICF model-driven activities at BLRC.
Conclusion. Feedback at the end of the students’ clinical placement was open ended and no information was asked specifically about IPE. More than half of the students spontaneously mentioned that learning about working in an inter-professional team as one of the highlights of their placement at BLRC, has prompted the sharing of this information. This article offers a potential framework (ICF) that fosters and supports the IPE philosophy in a clinical setting.
