An observational study in Interprofessional Education, sponsored by Rennes University Hospital. Recruiting at 26 sites in France. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-26.
Sponsored by Rennes University Hospital · Observational
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.
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.
Rennes University Hospital is the lead sponsor of 440 studies on the registry; 51 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Participants in this study will be :
An equivalent number of at least 48 MSP students in the control group is planned.
Students will be informed of the FLIRT study (intervention and control arms) when they receive the questionnaire, and will agree to take part.
Exclusion Criteria:
* MPCC signatories to the interprofessional conventional agreement with the French national health insurance system * volunteer to take part in the FLIRT MSP Study * volunteer to form an interprofessional training team * MPCC with GPs who are habilitated to supervise internship family medicine students * MPCC volunteer to receive healthcare students from different professions including at least one GP intern.
Other: Train the trainer program for MPCC professionals
* MPCC signatories to the interprofessional conventional agreement with the French national health insurance system * volunteer to take part in the FLIRT MSP Study * MPCC with GPs who receive internship family medicine students * MPCC volunteer to receive healthcare students from different professions including at least one GP intern.
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.
Comparison of changes in student scores on the ICCAS (Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey) before and after the MPCC placement in the intervention and control groups.
Time frame: 18 months
Comparison of changes in student scores on the ICCAS for each of the 6 IPC dimensions in the intervention and control groups
Time frame: 18 months
Comparison of changes in student scores on the ICCAS for each healthcare profession in the intervention and the control groups
Time frame: 18 months
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).
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.
Time frame: 24 months
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).
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.
Time frame: 24 months
Plan to share: No — There is no plan to make IPD available to other researchers
