title: Interprofessional podiatric surgical simulation a pilot study.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Interprofessional collaboration is key to quality outcomes in the health-care systems of today. Simulation is a common tool in podiatric medical education, and interprofessional education has become more common in podiatric medicine programs. Interprofessional simulation is the blending of these educational strategies.
  
  
  METHODS
  A quantitative design was used to determine the impact of an isolated interprofessional podiatric surgical simulation between nurse anesthesia and podiatric medical students.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Statistically significant differences were observed among participants between preintervention and postintervention surveys using the revised Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Interprofessional simulation can be an effective educational opportunity for podiatric medical and nurse anesthesia students.
