  This article examined the issues in forming and implementing an interperfessional course in medically-based education programs. In this study, the researchers attempted to examine the impact of an interperfessional course on an OT's experience prior to the start of a Level 1 placement. The course utilized in the study employed teaching various points. This includes a get-to-know session, introduction to understanding the role of OT's and SLP's in such a setting, and integration of theory. The study included a fairly small sample size of 15 subjects cross a test and control group. Subjects were measured on the effectiveness of the course through the completion of a journal as well as a survey which asked 41 questions aiming to answer the overall effectiveness of the course. At the completion of the experience, the majority of OT students reported positive experiences with the course. Also, they reported that the course was a crucial component of their growth in the area of interperfessional skills. I feel that this is a good idea for us as OT students to potentially pursue. Prior to fieldwork, I did not fully grasp the extent of what other disciplines perform in the therapy department. However, I feel a course based on this would greatly aid in improving these skills.
