This study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Inter-Professional Education (IPE) Program for the Public Healthcare College students who have studied 5 majors (Physical therapy, Clinical pathology, Radiology, Paramedic, Medical engineering). From March 8th to June 14th 2022, subjects completed a survey which is the modified version of Inter-Professional Attitudes Scale-Korea (IPAS-K) asking the level of 3 items (Patient-centeredness, Diversity and ethics, Teamwork roles and responsibilities). This study used one-group pretest-posttest design and the IPE program was implemented for 51 students of 5 majors. The results of this study showed statistically significant differences in all the three items between before and after implementing a IPE program (p<.05). Patient-centeredness and Teamwork roles and responsibilities, Patient-centeredness and Diversity and ethics which are sub-factors of IPAS-K showed significant correlation in post IPE. While the correlation between Diversity and ethics and Teamwork roles and responsibilities showed low correlation coefficient. This study might be useful for further studies that proves the necessity and importance of the IPE program since college courses for Public healthcare students.
