Brief Summary

This study aims to develop a training program for academicians and clinicians who educate health professionals. The program focuses on enhancing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for interprofessional education and collaborative practice. The Training of Trainers Program (TTP) was conducted between February 20 and 24, 2024, and consisted of two phases: three days of online interactive theoretical training followed by two days of face-to-face practical training. The practical training included scenario-based group activities designed to develop professional skills in a collaborative environment. Participants were assessed using multiple tools, including demographic data forms, reflection and group assignments, and multiple-choice questions. Results showed that the TTP significantly improved competencies in areas such as teamwork, communication, leadership, ethics, and patient care. The program also received high satisfaction ratings from participants, highlighting the quality of the enrollment process, training content, and overall program effectiveness.

Competencies include roles and responsibilities, team and teamwork, interprofessional communication, collaborative leadership, relationships with patients, recognizing patient needs, lifelong learning, and ethics. This will be measured using the IPE Competency Assessment Form (IPE-CAF), which is based on a Likert scale. Scores will be compared before and after the Training of Trainers Program to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.

  Pre-test conducted before the intervention and post-test conducted immediately after the completion of the intervention. (20-24 February))

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Training Program Satisfaction

  Immediately after the completion of the TTP.
