Study population: Participants in this study will be :

* General medicine internship students in Level 1 (7th year) who complete 6-month internships with GPs.
* Midwifery students doing internships with independent midwives.
* Occupational therapy students who do internships with occupational therapists in private practice.
* Pharmacy students (6th year), who complete 6-month internships in community pharmacies.
* Other students doing clinical placements in MPCCs. A minimum of 48 students are expected to complete internships in MSPs as part of the intervention group.

An equivalent number of at least 48 MSP students in the control group is planned.

Students will be informed of the FLIRT study (intervention and control arms) when they receive the questionnaire, and will agree to take part.

Brief summary: The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of interprofessional education program (IPEP) for healthcare students in clinical placement in MPCC on interprofessional collaboration (IPC), comparing the acquisition of interprofessional collaboration skills in students receiving IPEP during their MPCC placement with those in their MPCC placements without this IPEP.

The IPEP will be delivered by trainers (health professionnals from the MPCC) who receive a train the trainer program.

Detailed description: For the intervention group, 12 MPCC will be recruited. 3 professionals from each MPCC will be trained and will be responsible for implementing the IPEP for their students.

For the control group, 12 MPCC will be recruited. Students will carry out their clinical placement as usual.

Study method : A multimodal study with a quasi experimental multisite study before and after the IPEP and a qualitative study to explore students' perceptions of the IPC will be conducted.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria :

MPCC signatories to the interprofessional conventional agreement with the French national health insurance system.

Volunteer to take part in the FLIRT MSP Study. MPCC with GPs who are habilitated to supervise internship family medicine students.

MPCC volunteer to receive healthcare students from different professions including at least one GP intern.

Volunteer to form an interprofessional training team.

Exclusion Criteria:

MPCC who are unable to form an internship training team or to commit to IPE as stipulated in the protocol will not be included in the MSP intervention group.

For the qualitative study, students who do not volunteer or are unavailable for interview will not be included in the FLIRT qualitative component.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Comparison of changes in student scores on the ICCAS (Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey) before and after the MPCC placement in the intervention and control groups.
timeFrame: 18 months
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Comparison of changes in student scores on the ICCAS for each of the 6 IPC dimensions in the intervention and control groups
timeFrame: 18 months
measure: Comparison of changes in student scores on the ICCAS for each healthcare profession in the intervention and the control groups
timeFrame: 18 months
measure: Analysis of the experience and feelings of students who have benefited from the IPEP on placement concerning their training and their vision of interprofessional collaboration (qualitative study).
timeFrame: 24 months
measure: Analysis of the feelings of students who did not benefit from IPEP on placement in relation to their education and their view of interprofessional collaboration (qualitative study).
