Abstract
Communication and collaboration skill mastery is as essential to nursing practice as expertise in clinical skills. Health profession graduates often lack the necessary communication skills to practice in a collaborative environment because they have been educated in silos with little or no interaction with other health profession students. Prelicensure interprofessional education has been suggested as a strategy for improving communication and collaboration among health profession students. Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory can be used to guide simulation-based interprofessional education, offering both a foundation and process for knowledge acquisition based on the needs of each individual learner.
