Description: Developed in 2017, this intraprofessional experience includes Dental Hygiene students (required - 1st year) observing a Dental student presenting a treatment plan to a patient/family or assisting a dental student in gathering assessment data during an initial patient evaluation or treatment appointment. The focus of this learning experience is communicating roles and responsibilities. Both third year Dental and first year Dental Hygiene students discuss professional roles and responsibilities after the patient evaluation or treatment appointment.
