Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the interdisciplinary nature of oral health care components within Area Health Education Centers (AHECs). A questionnaire was designed to elicit descriptive information from AHEC program directors. The questionnaire surveyed the entire population of 37 AHEC project directors identified by the National AHEC Program Office. A total of 23 of 37 questionnaires were returned, for an overall response rate of 62%. Results indicate that dental and dental hygiene students are learning alongside other student health care professionals in an interdisciplinary environment. These oral health care components incorporate a variety of classroom delivery methods, such as problem-based learning, interdisciplinary learning, and reflective sessions. The survey also revealed numbers of students and programs involved in current interdisciplinary activities.Document Type: Research article
