A total of 23 outcome measures were included in the current review. Many studies reported that the communication skills that developed Teacher competency were 14.63% (95% CI 8.92%-22.10%) followed by interdisciplinary/ collaboration work, which created teacher competency 16.86% (95% CI 10.08% - 24.96%).
