Overview

The Interprofessional Oral Health Faculty Tool Kits are organized by program and describe how to “weave” evidence-based oral-systemic health content, teaching-learning strategies, and clinical experiences into undergraduate, nurse practitioner and midwifery programs.

These tool kits can serve as a starting point for faculty, clinicians, and organizations as they work to play a leadership role in building interprofessional oral health workforce capacity to improve oral health access, decrease oral health disparities, improve oral health and overall health outcomes, prepare for accreditation, and enhance the health of the communities they serve.

How to Begin

Read Putting the Mouth Back In the Head: HEENT to HEENOT (Haber at al., 2015) to begin understanding the importance of including the oral examination as an integral part of every patient assessment.

Identify Oral Health Champions who can advocate for the necessity of including oral health as a standard component of education and clinical practice to others

Pick and choose assignments from the pertinent tool kit (Undergraduate, PNP, FNP, AGPCNP, AGACNP, PMHNP, WHNP or Nurse Midwifery) that fit in with your existing course content, thereby "weaving" oral health into the curriculum. For example, you can seamlessly include assignments on the oral implications of diabetes into your lecture on diabetes!
