Abstract

Through a case example of fluoride, this paper examines why dental caries and other 21st century challenges require collaborative practice toward improved health that begins with interprofessional education (IPE). We suggest a theoretical framework for expanding the thinking around IPE for global health and recommend beginning at the undergraduate, or "pre-interprofessional," level where students are still undifferentiated by profession. Our theoretical framework can assist in providing a foundation for curriculum alignment and calibration moving forward to the graduate and professional training levels.
