The second edition of OHNEP's Interprofessional Oral Health Faculty Tool Kit is an innovative open-source, user-friendly product for faculty to use for weaving oral health and its links to overall health into their Undergraduate nursing curricula. The undergraduate tool kit is designed to guide faculty in embedding "oral health bytes" into existing undergraduate nursing courses to demonstrate the oral-systemic connection.

The latest version of our Tool Kit aligns with the HRSA Interprofessional Oral Health Core Competencies (2014), the AACN Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (2021) and the IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (2016), and includes up-to-date clinical practice guidelines and standards for integrating oral health into undergraduate nursing curricula.

This Tool Kit provides resources to Read about oral health and its link to overall health, along with activities that students Do in class or in clinical simulations, and activities where they Collaborate with students from other programs.
