led to many medical and medication errors in the treatment of patients in the
hospital. It is considered important to give Interprofessional Education (IPE)

understanding about roles of other health professionas. IPE is an
interprofessional collaborative learning to support promotive, preventive,
curative, rehabilitative and other approches related to health aspect.
Perception is among the most important and highly needed skill in the
implementation of IPE. This research aimed to determine the effect of IPE
