Abstract
Abstract: A simulation laboratory was developed for prelicensure nursing and undergraduate clinical laboratory science students using scripted patient cases with laboratory test results. The experience was guided by TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety). Participants (n = 66) completed the modified Interprofessional Professionalism Assessment pre- and postsimulation. Journal reflections provided qualitative data. All aspects of interprofessional professionalism increased after the simulation; the most significant gain was confidence in working with other health care professionals. Analysis of journal themes indicated the students perceived increased communication and collaboration skills concerning patient care and safety.
