title: Teaching-Learning Experience Regarding Skill in Using Inhalers: Medical Students Teaching Nursing Students.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Teaching-learning experience involving more than one health care discipline is a topic of great interest in the health sciences. Few such experiences are known in which medical students taught nursing students a clinical skill.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors evaluated the effect of fourth-year medical students teaching the correct use of a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to bachelor of science nursing (BSN) students. An fourth-year medical student investigator taught BSN students the correct use of an MDI in individual, private educational sessions, approximately 10 minutes in length, in a large health sciences center. BSN students were scored in use of MDI preeducation and posteducation. Instruction included both discussion and demonstration by the M4S.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among 20 BSN students, posteducation scores were markedly improved for total steps (p < .0001), and six of nine individual steps for MDI use.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Brief teaching-learning sessions are effective in teaching nursing students the correct use of MDI. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(2):120-122.].
