Abstract

Introduction: Interprofessional collaboration between health professionals supports enhanced patient care and outcomes. IPECP in pre-licensure education supports professional and interprofessional socialization. Within IPECP students develop an understanding of their professional role and identity. IPECP experiences also contribute to interprofessional identity formation, where collaborative attitudes, behaviours, and skills are developed that support collaboration in practice. IPECP literature in oral health education for dentistry(DDS) and dental hygiene (DH) students is limited. It is not well understood how DDS and DH students are educated in IPECP and prepared for collaborative practice. Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies specific to IPECP models used in the pre-licensure education of DDS and/or DH students and IPECP models used in health professions education that include at minimum one (1) cohort of DDS or DH students. Methods: A pilot search of CINAHL and DOSS was conducted to identify keywords and indexed terms. Databases searched will include CINAHL, MEDLINE, DOSS, and APA PsycInfo. Peer-reviewed articles satisfying inclusion criteria will be sourced and bibliographies searched for additional literature. Articles will be independently screened for title and abstract, followed by full-text review by two reviewers. A modified JBI-tool will be used for data extraction. Data will be presented in table and diagram forms, accompanied by a narrative summary.
