Abstract

The oral-systemic link and pathogenesis of inflammation are the key drivers for the body’s diseases [25]. Dental hygienists are one of the most underutilized professions in healthcare today [1]. Dental hygienists have a broad base of education with medical-dental knowledge that will be the key conduit to provide preventative dental healthcare in many medical related settings [1]. Dental hygienists must take continuing education courses in several dental, medical, and health topics to maintain their licenses every two to three years depending on the state they live in. Some of the continuing educational courses are in medical emergencies, pharmacology, anesthesia, cardiopulmonary respiration, cariology, diabetes, oral pathology, nutrition, chemical dependency, and many others.

To Cite This Article: April Pohlman, R.D.H., B.S.D.H., M.Ed., To Develop an App or Technology Platform for Interprofessional Education & Collaboration for Research Outside Universities & Create Partnerships with Organizations to Create New Learning and Expand Career Opportunities for Dental Hygienists. When I investigated technology, I did see that there is a platform that already exists for collaboration The main idea is “To develop an app or a platform for interprofessional education & collaboration for research outside universities & create partnerships with organizations” (Figures 1-3). It will allow dental hygiene to create a platform to collaborate with other organizations and expand dental hygiene into new areas of healthcare. Hygienists in the future will work among other medicaldental healthcare providers Such as physicians, dentists, dental therapists, health organizations, education, and others [1]. New paths career paths will be developed for hygienists requiring business and technology skills for example independent or entrepreneur hygienists [1]
