Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>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.</p> </abstract>
