Abstract
Interprofessional education (IPE) is a learning experience focused on collaboration, preparing health professionals to improve patient care. This article explores how IPE with dietetic interns in training has influenced views and practices of pediatric dentists after graduation. Surveys were e-mailed to 189 alumni who graduated from New York University College of Dentistry's Post Graduate Pediatric Program from 2009 to 2018. Of the 67 surveys received, 44 (23%) were completed. Most alumni found the information learned through IPE relevant to residency (90%) and current practice (84%). Ninety percent of respondents agreed pediatric dental visits should include nutritional counseling. This study supports the positive value of IPE in oral health care and education.
