Overview

Randomized trial compares face-to-face and distance learning effectiveness in interprofessional education, suggesting face-to-face may be superior.

Key Points

  • The central aim is to compare the effectiveness of face-to-face versus distance learning in interprofessional education.
  • Conducted a survey using the Japanese version of the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS).
  • Compared face-to-face and distance learning among students from four joint medical and welfare universities.
  • Collected free descriptions from faculty on the advantages and disadvantages of both learning modes.
  • Overall and 'teamwork and collaboration' scores significantly increased in both learning modes after class, with face-to-face learning showing a larger increase.
  • Face-to-face learning significantly increased 'IPE opportunities' compared to distance learning.
  • Distance learning faced disadvantages, including less effective communication and challenges in maintaining concentration.
