An interprofessional learning experience for trainee general practitioners in an academic urban minor injuries unit with advanced nurse practitioners (Emergency)

摘要

Background: There is a body of empirical literature indicating that interprofessional education (IPE) not only enriches students' understanding of their own discipline but of other disciplines. However, giving the on-going emphasis on the importance of IPE to healthcare processes and outcomes, on-going attention is needed to advancing the research evidence related to the emergency department setting. The aim of this qualitative descriptive study was to determine the clinical learning experiences of GPs who rotated through an academic urban minor injuries unit as part of their training, led by advanced nurse practitioners (emergency).
