The IPE activity was attended to by 309 students from the following fields: Physiotherapy, Medicine, Clinical associates, Occupational therapy, Biokinetics, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing, Oral Science, Speech, and Audiology. The authors found that participating in the IPE activity made students gain appreciation and respect for other health professionals’ roles and scope
