Abstract

In 2019, a new Interprofessional Education collaboration between educational institutions was consolidated in Italian-speaking Switzerland. For the first time, it included a learning unit on IPC open to Bachelor's students in Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and Physiotherapy as well as to Master's students in Medicine. Initially, didactical planning, modalities and tools were defined which required the active involvement of students and teachers. Five months before the course begin, the pandemic forced a rethink of the framework in order to achieve the planned objectives and enable the students to acquire the defined skills.
