    Introduction: Interprofessional simulation enhances both technical and nontechnical skills among healthcare professionals, improving their clinical practice. Co-debriefng, where two facilitators lead debriefng sessions, is a common approach in these trainings. This study aims to assess educational aspects of interprofessional simulation and co-debriefng in postgraduate medical and emergency nursing students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with a mixed-methods approach was conducted among postgraduate students (n = 46). A mixed-methods design was used, combining quantitative questionnaire data with qualitative content analysis of openended responses, allowing integration of numerical trends with in-depth learner perspectives. A valid and reliable ad hoc questionnaire was designed, and qualitative content analysis was used to examine participants’ free-text responses. Results: Students’ perceptions were evaluated across six dimensions: applicability, satisfaction, motivation, safe environment, organization, and co-debriefng. Signifcant diferences were found between medical and nursing students in all dimensions except applicability and organization. Overall, students rated interdisciplinary sessions and co-debriefng positively, though nurses highlighted areas for improvement, such as icebreaker activities, more dynamic simulations, and equal representation of both professions. Conclusions: While interprofessional simulation and co-debriefng were well received, participants—especially nurses—identifed areas for enhancement to ensure a more balanced and engaging learning experience. By integrating quantitative outcomes with qualitative insights, the study highlights when co-debriefng adds value in interprofessional simulation and when singlefacilitator approaches may be sufcient.
