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.
通过氟化物的一个案例，本文探讨了为什么龋齿和其他21世纪的挑战需要通过跨专业教育（IPE）开展协作实践以促进健康改善。我们提出了一个理论框架，以拓展围绕全球健康的跨专业教育的思维，并建议从本科阶段，即“跨专业前”阶段开始，此时学生尚未按专业分化。我们的理论框架有助于为课程调整和校准奠定基础，进而推进到研究生和专业培训阶段。
