The competence and willingness of physicians to work in interprofessional teams is important for the quality of patient care. To train this competence, the integration of interprofessional learning into undergraduate medical curricula is recommended by experts. This study analyses how a single interprofessional teaching course impacts on medical students’ learning gain and change of attitude towards interprofessional collaboration.
