Interprofessional Precepting: A Nursing-Medicine Partnership

Launette Woolforde et al. J Nurses Prof Dev. 2022 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Interprofessional precepting can advance team-based collaboration. We evaluated the impact of nurse-led precepting of medical students on perceptions of nurse-physician relationships. Forty-six frontline nurses precepted 73 third year medical students in New York for a three-part clinical and classroom experience. Nurse preceptor and medical student attitudes toward healthcare teams and medical student attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration improved after participation using validated scales. This pilot study suggests nurse-led interprofessional precepting can improve attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration.
