title: Interdisciplinary collaboration: what private practice can learn from the health center experience.
abstract: Ideas on what medical-dental integration can look like on a practical level can be gained from studying efforts made in Federally Qualified Health Centers (Health Centers). Over the last 15 years, Health Centers have embarked on several initiatives that incorporated the development of infrastructure for medical-dental integration. This paper reviews these efforts and highlights successes, challenges and best practices that can bolster efforts in all dental practice settings.
