Interprofessional health education teacher training in University of Chile.

The first interprofessional course, which included the 8 undergraduate health programs at the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Chile was implemented in 2015. For 700 students, 35 teachers were trained as facilitators. The use of several strategies to train facilitators in interprofessional health education, such as working in small groups, role-playing, case analysis, personal development workshops with experts' participation, teamwork skills, feedback, videos, and reading articles, proved to be helpful. Facilitators highlighted the use of syllabi as a fundamental tool for teaching and coordination. This guide describes the experience in interprofessional health education teacher training from 2015 to 2019, highlighting the following lessons learned: the importance of support from university authorities, raising awareness of the faculty about interprofessional health education and collaborative practice, creating a teachers' coordination team including representatives from all health programs, and ongoing monitoring and feedback from participants.
