Interprofessional Collaboration: A Qualitative Study of Non-Physician Perspectives on Resident Competency

Background The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) includes the ability to collaborate in an interprofessional team as a core professional activity that trainees should be able to complete on day 1 of residency (Med Sci Educ. 26:797–800, 2016). The training that medical students require in order to achieve this competency, however, is not well established (Med Sci Educ. 26:457–61, 2016), and few studies have examined non-physician healthcare professionals’ perspectives regarding resident physicians’ interprofessional skills.
