Description

Interprofessional education (IPE) leading to effective communication is critical for patient safety [1] • Barriers to IPE include lack of confidence and lack of experience and opportunities • Barriers are increased in rural states, due to travel and scheduling logistics[2,3] • The pandemic and social distancing restrictions forced rapid transition of an IPE OSCE from an in-person to a virtual event • Our objective was to provide students with an authentic experience similar in quality and value to prior in-person sessions
