Our recent Super Sim Interprofessional activity involved approximately 200 optometry, PA, and pharmacy students who collaborated in small groups to provide care to a simulated patient with complicated medical conditions. This gave students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, clinical skills, and communication consistent with interprofessional collaboration, preparing students of different disciplines to work in teams to deliver the best possible patient experience and outcomes.
