title: Facilitator training program: The Université Laval Interprofessional Initiative.
abstract: A facilitator training program (FTP) for interprofessional learning (IPL) facilitators has been developed at Université Laval. This article describes the impacts of this program as perceived by the 22 IPL facilitators involved and outlines recommendations. Two qualitative data collection strategies were used to document the facilitators' pedagogical needs and views of the program's impacts. Results suggest that the FTP's pedagogical approach was effective. The IPL facilitators became more aware of their challenges and identified concrete strategies to use. Training initiatives should equip IPL facilitators to cope with uncertainty, create a climate supporting active learning, and facilitate positive interactions between students.
