PURPOSE: This study evaluates third-year dental medicine students' perceived competencies related to interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) after completing two exposure level experiences with students from other professions across a large academic health center. METHODS: Two cohorts of D3 dental medicine students (2018-2019 and 2019-2020) completed the Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey (ICCAS) after participating in in-person 2.5-h Interprofessional (IP) Forums in the Fall and Spring semesters. Self-reported competencies were compared between pre-and post-IP Forum ratings and between Fall and Spring. RESULTS: Prior to the IP Forums, dental medicine students (n = 185) reported perceived skill in the interprofessional competencies to be from Good to Very Good using the ICCAS. After participation in the Fall IP Forum, students' ICCAS scores increased in all ICCAS subscales with large effect sizes. Students reported a perceived decline in these skills in the four months between Fall and Spring IP Forums and restoration of IP skill levels after participating in a second IP Forum (Spring). CONCLUSIONS: Participation in IP Forums has a positive impact on students' IPCP skill perception. Our data suggest that perceived skill level requires repeated IP learning experiences. If dental medicine students are expected to embrace collaborative practice to enhance patient outcomes, then dental school educators must provide opportunities for students to engage in collaborative practice experiences at all levels of their training.
