OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes toward interprofessional, team-based care in first-year health professions students. METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to all first-year health professions students in their first semester at one university using the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS). Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze the data. RESULTS Results indicated only two significant differences among students in IPAS subdomains: teamwork (χ2  = 13.11, df = 3, P = 0.004) and patient-centredness (χ2  = 40.75, df = 3, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Not all health professions students come into their formal education with the same level of attitudes toward team-based care. Educators should consider this when designing IPE activities.
