The age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the teaching landscape and the tools students use to engage with learning. In healthcare, AI has a clear role reducing administrative burdens; however, at the core of high-quality patient care is human connection. Developing relationships both between provider and patient, and among providers is critical. Simulated Interprofessional Education (IPE) events allow healthcare students to develop core competencies; yet many students feel disengaged and instructors report only passive engagement. In order to design more impactful IPE events, we sought to explore how self-identified personality types (Big Five Inventory), and established team familiarity, impacted students’ perceived value of participation in a mass casualty drill. Results of perceived event value by self-identified personality type will be presented, along with a breakdown by participating academic program. These findings will inform discussion on the intentional design for future events to maximize student engagement and learning.
