Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background: To prepare for and encourage interprofessional collaboration in practice, IPE is incorporated into healthcare curricula.

The application of IPE combined with peer-led topic discussions (PLTD) can be more effective in increasing student activity in solving health problems found in society.
