Interprofessional education allows a diversity of fields come together and share their
expertise in solving issues in a deeper and more well-rounded manner. This article
provides 3 best practice frameworks for interprofessional education. Read through the
article and take a minute to think about how these frameworks can include the field of
dental hygiene and how we could play a vital part in improving patient care with help
from a diversity of expertise that may lie outside of just dental hygiene.
