Introduction: It has been demonstrated that interprofessional education helps aspiring students of allied health become cooperative and successful practitioners in healthcare environments. Objectives. This study looks into how students at the University of Batangas’ College of Allied Medical Sciences view and are prepared for interprofessional education (IPE).
Methods: Students at the chosen college were given pen-and-paper surveys containing the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) and the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) in order to quantitatively describe their opinions about IPE.
Results: According to the results, the majority of students think well of IPE, emphasizing the need to respect other professions and work as a team. They differ, meanwhile, in how they assess the relative importance of their own profession to others and how reliant on other professions.
Conclusion: In addition to highlighting the need for more IPE programs, the paper addresses certain obstacles to their successful integration in the rehabilitation sector, underscoring the necessity of establishing IPE programs and purposefully involving students in IPE through a range of activities.
