abstract
Introduction: Interdisciplinary education among health professions has been recommended, and related evaluation can be found in literature. However, questions remain on how effective interdisciplinary education is and what impact it has. The objective of this study was to determine changes in student attitudes and perceptions upon completion of a 5-week interdisciplinary palliative care seminar.
