Inter-Professional Collaboration and Education

Teamwork is essential for the provision of high quality oral health care. (Inter-professional) teamwork skills need to be taught and learned and
therefore ought to be one of the core competencies in all dental education programs, including orthodontics.
The predominant way to acquire inter-professional teamwork skills is by learning in practice. However, there seems a lack of opportunities for
collaborative learning and practice within educational establishments.
For students across oral health care, learning 'together' requires positive action for teamwork skills to be developed. Inter-professional curricula
need to be formally developed, based on evidence from the wider education literature that demonstrates how to maximize the engagements needed
for teamwork in practice.
The aim of this workshop is to offer participants insight in what inter-professional collaboration skills are, and how this can be learned during
education. After an interactive introduction, participants will discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of inter-professional education, the
essential elements for good collaboration, and how these competencies can be assessed. They will work in small groups on a case for designing
an inter-professional education program.
