Putting the “I” in Team: Interprofessional Patient Centered Care

Course Description: According to research from the University of Iowa, ‘by 2020 the sheer-volume of medical

knowledge will double every 73 days.” Treating our patients as a whole versus focusing on a singular diagnosis repre-

sents the future of healthcare delivery. Communication among professionals provides a richness of knowledge that cre-

ates a “dream team” for our patients. Collaborative efforts to obtain, share, and process information contributes to con-

sistent patient centered care.

This course is designed to promote intra-office and inter-office communication to cultivate partnerships through all as-

pect of healthcare. An introduction and review of practice guidelines, customized referrals, and documentation will be

explored.

Reflection upon past “game changers” in dentistry allows us to look forward and recognize future inter-disciplinary op-

portunities in healthcare. Participants will engage in a lively discussion on topics related to: elevating communication

skills, standardizing office protocols and tailoring documentation. The time is now to “bridge the gap” in healthcare

through adaptation, customization and collaboration.

Course Objectives

Identify current optimal care practices and expand upon opportunities.

Review medical emergency protocols.

Distinguish between inter-office communication and intra-office communication

Learn to apply new protocols for: collaboration, referrals, guidelines, and documentation.

Implement suggestions for seamless communication that will enrich your team environment.

Gen Z: Choices and Challenges

Course Description: The current and sometimes shocking health behaviors and trends in the teen generation

can influence their oral and systemic health. Dental professionals have a clinical opportunity to identify risky behaviors.

Encouraging Gen Z to make positive health decisions could impact their choices when challenged.

Participants will engage in a lively discussion on timely topics relating to Gen Z. Dialogue may include oral and overall

health issues associated with nutrition, obesity, eating disorders and substance abuse.

Gen Z, also known as the Global Generation, engage in multiple platforms of social media. This course identifies and

addresses many of the platforms that influence teens’ venturous decisions. Recognizing high risk behaviors will prepare

the dental professional to initiate dialogue that may impact a teen for a lifetime.

Course Objectives

*Identify current dietary trends. *Enhance generational communication skills
