Title: Interprofessional Education and Practice: An Opportunity to Reunite the Mouth with the Body and Make the Patient Whole Authors: Klink, Kathleen; Joskow, Renee Abstract: Kathleen Klink and Renée Joskow embrace the vision of integration of oral and general health, which originated with the surgeon general’s report Oral Health in America in 2000, and describe in detail important conferences, reports, and policies that have arisen since then to promote the concept of interprofessional collaboration for oral health professionals. The authors emphasize the need to integrate education across disciplines, using new teaching models; highlight the importance of engaging the public using outreach and education; and cogently argue for policy and financial changes supporting interdisciplinary partnerships.

Title: Guest Editorial: Interprofessional Education and Practice: A Concept Whose Time Has Come Authors: Russell, Stefanie L. Abstract: Empirically, there is evidence that interprofessional collaboration improves educational outcomes, quality of research, and patient and population health outcomes over any one discipline working alone. Bringing together various skills and individual experiences into a team, communication, and coordination of care are enhanced, scientific inquiry deepens and expands, and health and safety improve while meeting the needs of underserved, diverse populations is more achievable when various parties and stakeholders come together to work on a problem together.

Title: Building a Culture of Collaboration: Interprofessional Education and Practice Authors: Haber, Judith Abstract: Judith Haber effectively argues for a greater integration of oral health and general health in the teaching of dental, medical, and nursing students, and emphasizes that it is ourobligation as teachers and educators to “reach across academic silos” to improve oral and overall health. She clearly outlines various challenges to this goal, but is able to envision great opportunities in overcoming these challenges

Title: Reconnecting Mouth and Body Requires Rethinking Dental Care Financing Authors: Vujicic, Marko Abstract: Marko Vujicic discusses how dental care financing inthe United States has impacted oral healthcare delivery, access, and utilization. He makes the case that the separation of oral health from overall health inthe United States, regarding financing of care, has influenced the oral health of the U.S. population, and highlights how itmay be difficult—if not impossible—to reconnect the mouth to the body without rethinking how dental care might be integrated into health payer systems.
