Abstract
Interprofessional education (IPE) is required in the advanced nursing practice curriculum to promote collaboration between health care professionals. Time constraints, accessibility, and geographical locations are common barriers to overcome when considering implementing IPE experiences. Utilizing virtual modalities to develop these experiences can increase IPE opportunities. An innovative approach was taken to incorporate a telehealth Objective Structured Clinical Examination involving family nurse practitioner and pharmacy students from different academic institutions for an IPE virtual simulation. Faculty evaluated student performance based on competencies. Faculty and student feedback regarding the IPE experience was positive.
