Abstract

Abstract: Objective To visually analyze the main hotspots and research trends in the field of interprofessional education (IPE) in medicine. Methods A systematic search of the Web of Science core database was conducted on December 31, 2023, and the Bibliometrix software was applied to analyze the distribution characteristics, research hotspots, and trends of literature related to IPE in medicine. Results From 1999 to 2023, a total of 1,815 research articles related to IPE in medicine were published, and the annual number of published papers gradually increased after 2010. The top 5 high-frequency keywords were interprofessional education (914 times), medical education (145 times), interprofessional collaboration (125 times), interprofessional learning (119 times), and education (110 times). The core keyword interprofessional education frequently co-occurred with the keywords medical education, interprofessional collaboration and simulation.The strategic diagram analysis of keywords identified palliative care and oral health as emerging themes. Conclusions The research related to medical IPE is gradually increasing, with interprofessional collaboration and simulation teaching methods being the current hotspots. Interprofessional education involving palliative care and oral health are at the forefront of research.

Key words: Medicine, Interprofessional Education, Bibliometrics, Visualization analysis, Bibliometrix
