title: Training dental and nondental professionals together: the oral health gerontology fellows program.
abstract: This project demonstrated the feasibility of training dental and nondental professionals to develop and implement programs in oral health care of older adults. Eight self-guided study modules were developed and tested. Trainees drawn from dentistry, dental hygiene, nursing, and planning/administration completed a 6-month individualized training program under the guidance of faculty mentors. Program structure, content, and implications are discussed.
