Abstract

Abstract : The goal of this study was to pilot a novel peer-to-peer nurse–physician collaboration program and assess for changes in attitudes toward collaboration among a group of newly licensed nurses and resident physicians ( n = 39). The program included large group meetings, with discussion of key concepts related to interprofessional collaboration. In unit-based teams, the registered nurses and physicians developed a quality improvement project to meet a need on their unit. Creating learning activities like this program enable nursing professional development specialists to promote interprofessional collaboration and learning.
