“…Other student-run free health clinics have involved physician assistant, pharmacy, and medical students, but the focus of outcomes in a recent free clinic involving these professions was on IPE student perceptions [ 6 – 9 ] without investigating student learning needs being met by clinical compared to simulation educational experiences. Student perceptions of the role of various health professions were investigated in a smoking cessation-only free student clinic involving these three professions [ 7 ]. Similarly, this study did not investigate the learning needs compared to didactic curriculum exposure to patient care.…”

Purpose The purpose of this research project is to determine how well three health profession student discipline’s learning needs are met through a real clinical interprofessional environment compared to previous simulation experience by assessing student perceptions following participation in a student-run underserved healthcare setting. Methods Various student-run health clinics were initiated throughout Southwest Ohio in underserved settings precepted by healthcare profession faculty. Physician assistant, pharmacy, and medical student learning needs and interprofessional perceptions were assessed following clinic participation utilizing the Clinical Learning Environment Comparison Survey (CLECS) and qualitative comment to allow objectification of students’ perceptions to different clinical learning environments and the interprofessional setting. Results The survey had responses from medical, pharmacy, and physician assistant students ( n = 60). Overall, students preferred traditional learning environments compared to previous simulated clinical experiences ( p < .01). Significance for communication, holism, and the teaching-learning dyad was demonstrated comparing the traditional clinical experience to the simulated experience ( p < .05). Pharmacy students felt their critical thinking skills were more significantly improved after the simulated environment ( p < .05). Males more significantly favored teaching-learning dyad simulation vs. the traditional environment ( F = 5.86, p < .05). Qualitative comments regarding the interprofessional experience included themes of teamwork, patient communication, and clinical skills. Conclusion When comparing a traditional clinical experience in an interprofessional student-run clinic vs. previous simulated learning clinical environment, physician assistant, pharmacy, and medical students qualitatively and quantitatively perceive their learning needs are greater met in the volunteer student-run clinic for communication, holism, and the teaching-learning dyad. There were variations in preferences based on sex and discipline of the student.

“…Providing mentorship to students who struggle with clinical, communication, or administrative skills can have a CREATING A MODEL FOR AN OT STUDENT CLINIC 5 significant impact on their preparedness for clinical practice (Palombaro, Dole, & Lattanzi, 2011). Pro bono clinics have also been shown to increase the role awareness of other professions (Tsu, Buckley, Early, & Jackowski, 2018). This increase in interdisciplinary confidence will be beneficial in fieldwork rotations, where students are expected to collaborate and work with a variety of healthcare professionals.…”

“…It was equally important to consider the needs of the student therapists and include them in the planning phases (Palombaro et al, 2011). These community programs have the potential to improve clinical, administrative, communication, and leadership skills (Black et al, 2017;Ries, 2010;Tsu et al, 2018).

Students' metacognitive skills and perceptions are considered important variables for high-quality learning. In this study, students' perceptions were used to identify histological threshold concepts (integrative, irreversible, transformative, and troublesome) in three health sciences curricula. A specific questionnaire was developed and validated to characterize students' perceptions of histological threshold concepts. A sample of 410 undergraduate students enrolled in the dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy degree programs participated in the study. Concepts assessed in the study were clustered to ten categories (factors) by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Concepts linked to tissue organization and tissue functional states received the highest scores from students in all degree programs, suggesting that the process of learning histology requires the integration of both static concepts related to the constituent elements of tissues and dynamic concepts such as stem cells as a tissue renewal substrate, or the euplasic, proplasic and retroplasic states of tissues. The complexity of integrating static and dynamic concepts may pose a challenging barrier to the comprehension of histology. In addition, several differences were detected among the students in different degree programs. Dentistry students more often perceived morphostructural concepts as threshold concepts, whereas medical students highlighted concepts related to two-dimensional microscopic identification. Lastly, pharmacy students identified concepts related to tissue general activity as critical for the comprehension and learning of histology. The identification of threshold concepts through students' perceptions is potentially useful to improve the teaching and learning process in health sciences curricula.
