Description
How did we get here and where can we go to change the health outcomes of persons with disabilities? The current education of dental students is in flux to meet these challenges with new technology, integrated care and inspired passion. Understanding the policy and bias of the past that created overall and oral health disparities that exist for Adults with I/DD, Seniors and for Adults with Disability can inspire us as dentists to be advocates. Dr. Fray will discuss the leadership of the AADMD in advocating and expecting society to address these disparities in an integrated interdisciplinary shift to wellness in both policy and clinical care.

- Explain the New Models of Dental Delivery Networks that Remediate Disparities with Integrated Interprofessional Collaborative Care Models
