Development of an Interprofessional Education Project in Dentistry Based on the Positive Behavior Support Theory: Pilot Curriculum Development and Validation Study.

Background: Effective interprofessional education (IPE) can facilitate teamwork between dentists and dental technicians, thereby enabling the efficient provision of high-quality dental care.

Objective: This study aimed to design and assess an IPE module named Project 35, which was offered to dental and dental technology students early in their undergraduate training as a precursor to a more comprehensive IPE curriculum in dentistry and dental technology.

Methods: Leveraging positive behavior support (PBS) theory, Project 35 was devised as an innovation and entrepreneurship educational training framework.
