Designing a first-year undergraduate common semester aimed at developing interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) capabilities is challenging. A scoping review was conducted to identify enablers and barriers for common semesters. Due to limited numbers of eligible studies, the review was expanded to include studies of semester-long first-year courses aimed at IPCP development. Key enablers of common semesters or courses in 35 included studies were: real-world, problem-solving, hands-on, interprofessional teamwork aligned with graduate practice capabilities relevant across disciplines; continuous feedback and critical evaluation; relationship building amongst students and staff; cohesive, well-trained interprofessional teams of staff and leaders; secure, supportive institutional policies and structures. Key barriers included: students’ lack of preparation, perceptions of irrelevance, and misaligned expectations; variable student capability and response amongst professions; miscommunicated or misaligned course outcomes; course, faculty or institutional non-integration; and cost, logistic, and evaluation issues. Outcomes were mainly positive improvements in self-evaluated student IPCP skills and understanding, variability between professions, and persistent misconceptions. Scales measuring capabilities lacked uniformity, and few studies were comparative or observational. Overall, the review suggests noncompetitive undergraduate first-year common semesters or courses positively impact IPCP capability development when robustly assessed, clearly evaluated, and supported by an integrated IPE culture.
