  1. ■ ■ An interdisciplinary approach to reducing dental visits to an emergency department David A. Williams D.D.S., M.S., M.P.H, Jacquelyn L. Fried, RDH, MS University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Methods Abstract Anticipated Barriers 1. Pilot project – elective course including didactic & service learning 2. Recruit student volunteers 3. Pre-test students using: a. Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) b. Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IPES) 4. Didactic: case and problem based learning 5. Clinical/experiential: shadowing ED personnel; focusing on patients with dental emergencies 6. Linkage: student perspectives about each disciplines’ contributions, perspectives and values related to patient care in dental ED cases 7. Post-test students using; a. Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) b. Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IPES) 8. Results reported to students, ED personnel, designated school administrators 9. Changes made based on relevant feedback 1. Historic isolation of dentistry from other health care professions 2. General non-inclusion of dentistry in interprofessional discussions 3. Time within students’ schedules to take course 4. Lack of faculty preparedness Re: interprofessional matters 5. Perceived lack of faculty urgency for interprofessional training 6.

Program Implementation • Consultation with ED staff ; via on-site visits/shadowing • Administer RIPLS and IPES to current dental and dental hygiene students • 3. Create proposed curriculum to include small group didactic exercises and clinical rotations • 4. Coordinate protocols for clinical rotations with appropriate ED personnel • 5. Submit IRB process regarding research involving human subjects • 6. Obtain permissions for students to participate in program • Schedule didactic and clinical rotations • Establish baseline date regarding students’ interprofessional attitudes • Conduct didactic course • Obtain faculty/student reflections following rotation • Conduct post test of students’ interprofessional attitudes • Analyze results using a paired t-test • 13.. Based on results of pre-post test: • a. Modify curriculum as necessary • b. Recruit support of other schools Purpose Anticipated Strengths 1.
