abstract: 'This article focuses on the description of an educational initiative,

  the Interdisciplinary Population Health Project ( IPHP) conducted in the

  academic year of 2006-2007 with a group of nursing and health care

  students. Inspired by population health, community development, critical

  pedagogy, and the inequalities imagination model, students participated

  in diverse educational activities to become immersed in the everyday

  life of an underserved urban neighborhood. A sample of convenience

  composed of 158 students was recruited from 4 health disciplines in a

  Western Canadian university. Data were collected using a modified

  version of the Parsell and Bligh''s Readiness of Health Care Students for

  Interprofessional Learning Scale. A one group pretest-posttest design

  was used to assess the outcomes of the IPHP. Paired t tests and one-way

  analyses of variance were used to compare the responses of students from

  different academic programs to determine if there were differences

  across disciplines. Findings suggest that students'' readiness to work in

  interprofessional teams did not significantly change over the course of

  their participation in the IPHP. However, the inequalities imagination

  model may be useful to enhance the quality and the effectiveness of

  fieldwork learning activities as a means of educating culturally and

  socially conscious nurses and other health care professionals of the

  future.'
