Interprofessional geriatric oral health curriculum proposed, may inform radiology education

An interprofessional education (IPE) model for geriatric oral health, built on the “4Ms” Age-Friendly framework and Kirkpatrick evaluation, is advocated to replace siloed training—a structure that could be adapted for radiology’s aging patient care.

• Curriculum framework details: uses the “4Ms” (Mentation, Medication, Mobility, What Matters) and Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation (reaction, learning, behavior, patient outcomes).
• Emphasizes interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) as essential for fair access and coordinated care, with strategies like high-fidelity simulation and task-shifting.
• No empirical implementation or outcome data reported; the paper is a theoretical curricular reform proposal, limiting direct applicability to radiology practice.
