Chapter 4. Faculty Development

Congratulations! Now that you’ve rallied your university and health care communities around the need for oral health integration, you’re ready for the next big step. It’s time to educate the faculty. Faculty development can take many forms.

IOH used the Smiles for Life curriculum outlined in Chapter 1 of this toolkit to create two 1-hour faculty development workshops that blend in-class and online learning.

Each workshop combines instruction with hands-on activities so faculty can apply new knowledge while practicing clinical skills. The workshops address related competencies and can be scheduled separately or in a single longer session. Instructions for each workshop include the following sections.
