Abstract

Background: Interprofessional education is essential for students enrolled in health care professional programs.

Objectives: We assessed the attitudes towards and the beliefs about interprofessional education (IPE) among program directors of medical laboratory science (MLS) and medical laboratory technician (MLT) programs accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). We also investigated the inclusion of IPE in the curricula of such programs.

Methods: We emailed the link to an anonymous 22-item cross-sectional survey to 468 program directors and tabulated the responses.

Results: Program directors who support the need to include IPE within the curricula of MLT and MLS programs showed a generally positive attitude towards IPE. The beliefs about IPE among our respondents were not homogeneous. Program directors who have not yet implemented IPE in the curriculum may not have had an opportunity to experience the practical benefits of IPE.

Conclusion: Although barriers to IPE implementation exist, half of the respondents reported having already implemented IPE within their curricula.

NAACLS MLT和MLS项目的跨专业教育:一项全国调查的结果。

背景：跨专业教育对于参加医疗保健专业课程的学生来说是必不可少的。目的：我们评估了国家临床实验室科学认证机构（NACLS）认可的医学实验室科学（MLS）和医学实验室技术员（MLT）项目主任对跨专业教育（IPE）的态度和信念。我们还调查了将IPE纳入此类项目课程的情况。方法：我们通过电子邮件向468名项目负责人发送了一项匿名的22项横断面调查的链接，并将回复制成表格。结果：支持将IPE纳入MLT和MLS项目课程的项目主管对IPE表现出普遍积极的态度。受访者对IPE的看法并不一致。尚未在课程中实施IPE的项目主管可能没有机会体验IPE的实际好处。结论：尽管IPE实施存在障碍，但一半的受访者表示已经在其课程中实施了IPE。
