The evolving roles and responsibilities of the dental hygiene profession are placing very different demands on its members. Collaboration with other health professionals will become necessary as the profession moves forward into more interdisciplinary settings. The purpose of this paper is to describe a recently published study involving collaboration between dental hygienists, physician assistants and physical therapists. Multidisciplinary teams comprised of representatives from each of the three professions participated in both a simulated problem-based case assessment and a real life patient assessment. Results showed favourable learning experiences by all three disciplines which could serve as a potential model for future multidiscipline projects. Collaborations between health professionals have the potential to enhance client care and ultimately improve their quality of life.
口腔卫生专业不断演变的角色和职责对其成员提出了截然不同的要求。随着该专业朝着更多跨学科领域发展，与其他健康专业人员的合作将变得必要。本文旨在描述一项最近发表的研究，该研究涉及口腔卫生师、医师助理和物理治疗师之间的合作。由这三个专业的代表组成的多学科团队参与了基于问题的模拟病例评估和现实生活中的患者评估。结果显示，所有三个学科都有良好的学习体验，这可以作为未来多学科项目的潜在模式。健康专业人员之间的合作有潜力加强对患者的护理，并最终改善他们的生活质量。
