Interprofessional Education (IPE) provides an environment where learners demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitude required to manage the complex clinical scenarios in a collaborative and interprofessional manner. The actual sphere of influence of Interprofessional Education in many medical schools has been limited. Therefore, the present study aim was to evaluate the medical students' readiness and perception of Interprofessional Education in a medical college in Saudi Arabia.
This questionnaire based cross sectional study was executed in the Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, King Saud University during the period September 2016 to December 2017, using the 19-item Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) with four subscales teamwork and collaboration, negative professional identity, positive professional identity and roles and responsibilities. The questionnaire was e-mailed to 1411 medical students and responses were analyzed using 5-point Likert scale.
A total of 158 medical students and trainees responded to the survey, 69 (43.6%) were males and 89 (56.4%) were females. The majority of participants 122-148 (77-94%) acknowledged the positive impact of IPE on teamwork and collaboration, more than two thirds 105 (64.45%) disagreed with negative attitude and 110-126 (70-80%) showed positive professional identity.
Medical students showed a positive perception and ready to adopt the Interprofessional Educational allied activities in medical schools. The shared academic events would improve in clarifying the roles and responsibilities of medical students in health care professions.
跨专业教育（IPE）提供了一个环境，学习者可以在其中以协作和跨专业的方式展示管理复杂临床场景所需的知识、技能和态度。在许多医学院校中，跨专业教育的实际影响范围有限。因此，本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯一所医学院校医学生对跨专业教育的准备情况和认知。
本横断面问卷调查研究于2016年9月至2017年12月在沙特国王大学医学院生理学系进行，使用包含团队合作与协作、负面职业认同、正面职业认同以及角色与职责四个子量表的19项跨专业学习准备量表（RIPLS）。问卷通过电子邮件发送给1411名医学生，使用5点李克特量表对回复进行分析。
共有158名医学生和实习生回复了调查，其中69名（43.6%）为男性，89名（56.4%）为女性。大多数参与者122 - 148名（77 - 94%）认可跨专业教育对团队合作与协作的积极影响，超过三分之二105名（64.45%）不同意负面态度，110 - 126名（70 - 80%）表现出正面职业认同。
医学生对跨专业教育有积极的认知，并愿意在医学院校中参与跨专业教育相关活动。共享的学术活动将有助于明确医学生在医疗保健行业中的角色和职责。
