Brief summary
The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of interprofessional education program (IPEP) for healthcare students in clinical placement in MPCC on interprofessional collaboration (IPC), comparing the acquisition of interprofessional collaboration skills in students receiving IPEP during their MPCC placement with those in their MPCC placements without this IPEP. The IPEP will be delivered by trainers (health professionnals from the MPCC) who receive a train the trainer program.
Detailed description
For the intervention group, 12 MPCC will be recruited. 3 professionals from each MPCC will be trained and will be responsible for implementing the IPEP for their students. For the control group, 12 MPCC will be recruited. Students will carry out their clinical placement as usual. Study method : A multimodal study with a quasi experimental multisite study before and after the IPEP and a qualitative study to explore students' perceptions of the IPC will be conducted.
Interventions
The intervention will consist on a train the trainer program. 3 professionals from each MPCC will be trained by an educational team. They will then have to implement an IPEP (knowledge of the MPCC, participation in interprofessional MPCC activities, etc.) for students on placement in their MPCC.

| Analysis of the experience and feelings of students who have benefited from the IPEP on placement concerning their training and their vision of interprofessional collaboration (qualitative study). | 24 months | The aim will be to understand how the placement changed their view of IPC, how they integrated into the MPCC, how they perceived interprofessional work and how they perceived their professional role within an MPCC. |
| Analysis of the feelings of students who did not benefit from IPEP on placement in relation to their education and their view of interprofessional collaboration (qualitative study). | 24 months | The aim will be to understand how the placement changed their view of IPC, how they integrated into the MPCC, how they perceived interprofessional work and how they perceived their professional role within an MPCC. |
