Teaching pediatric oral and systemic health screening assessments using interprofessional education

Abstract

Oral health is essential to systemic health at all ages and an important consideration when educating future oral and healthcare providers. Training that is limited to discipline-specific topics does not teach providers to assess conditions beyond their traditional scope of practice. Inter-professional education (IPE) can foster life-long professional collaboration.
