Abstract：
Increasing life expectancy, concepts of patient well-being, and the multiplicity of needs of the geriatric population, demand contribution, and collaboration of physicians, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, and other allied health disciplines, to provide quality care to patients. Interprofessional education (IPE) is an approach to education that improves collaboration among health professionals and it can aid in better management of geriatric patients. Communication and cooperation affect health care performance and hence, influence patient outcomes. Currently, each of the disciplines mentioned has customized undergraduate and/or postgraduate training in geriatric care. Though a uni-disciplinary educational approach increases knowledge and skills of individual professions separately, IPE offers significant advantages. IPE seeks to have students learning together, as well as from each other to develop exemplary collaborative practice. The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed that IPE will ensure optimum health care. However, IPE is yet to find its proper place in dental education. It would help dental students to develop a positive attitude toward geriatric patients and increase their empathy and efficiency in the management of these patients. This manuscript seeks to highlight the concept of interprofessional education (IPE) in gerodontology and develop recommendations for implementation of IPE in India.
摘要：
延长预期寿命,病人健康的概念，以及老年人群需求的多样性，需求贡献，和医生的合作，牙医,心理学家,药剂师,和其他联合卫生学科，为患者提供优质护理。跨专业教育（IPE）是一种教育方法，可以改善卫生专业人员之间的合作，并且可以帮助更好地管理老年患者。沟通与合作会影响医疗保健绩效，因此，影响患者预后。目前,提到的每个学科都有定制的老年护理本科和/或研究生培训。尽管单学科教育方法分别增加了个人专业的知识和技能，IPE具有显著的优势。IPE寻求让学生一起学习，以及相互发展的示范协作实践。世界卫生组织（WHO）提议IPE将确保最佳的医疗保健。然而,IPE尚未在牙科教育中找到合适的位置。这将有助于牙科学生培养对老年患者的积极态度，并提高他们在管理这些患者时的同理心和效率。该手稿旨在强调老年医学中跨专业教育（IPE）的概念，并为在印度实施IPE提出建议。
