Abstract

Program directors acknowledged that SPs could enhance clinical skills but unfamiliarity and barriers to integration may hinder adoption. These findings present an opportunity to share resources through interprofessional collaboration to support SP integration in dental hygiene programs. Future research should examine dental hygiene students' perspectives on SP effectiveness compared to traditional methods and investigate best practices from dental hygiene programs that successfully integrate SPs.
