title: Innovations in faculty development: interprofessional oral health workshops combine active learning and community engagement.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This paper reports the findings of a retrospective study of PA faculty who attended an innovative oral health faculty development workshop at the PAEA Annual Education Forum in 2011 or 2012. The oral health workshop combined didactic and interactive learning, including a hands-on community service practicum.
  
  
  METHODS
  The impact of this interprofessional oral health workshop was evaluated by measuring the degree to which participants incorporated workshop concepts into educational curriculum. A follow-up telephone survey was conducted in the fall of 2013 to determine whether participants integrated new curriculum, consistent with general feedback, immediately following the workshop.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 43 workshop participants, 47% responded. Eighty percent of those responding indicated that they had "completely" or "somewhat" integrated workshop content.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An innovative faculty development workshop including interactive interprofessional education and community service is effective in changing the knowledge, skills, and behavior of faculty in promoting the integration of oral health curriculum.
