How to …. Build Social Capital Through Working With Patients: Interprofessional Student Clinics

Learning from patients and understanding their lived experience plays an important role in improving health professions education. However, opportunities for patients to contribute meaningfully to interprofessional learning (IPL) activities remain limited. We developed an interprofessional student‐led clinic where people living with Parkinson's disease voluntarily participated, sharing their experiences and engaging in structured student‐led assessments. This article outlines a step‐by‐step approach to integrating patient perspectives within an IPL setting, focusing on trust‐building, resource sharing and the establishment of shared norms. The model highlights both the benefits and challenges of structured patient involvement in student learning and paves the way for deepening patient involvement.
