Direct Access Dental Hygienists' Perceptions Concerning Geriatric Curriculum in Entry-Level Dental Hygiene Programs.

Conclusion: Geriatrics may not be covered in sufficient depth to prepare entry-level dental hygiene students for work with these populations in direct access settings. Findings from this study may be used to support improvements in geriatric curriculum for entry-level dental hygiene programs. Future research is needed to determine necessary focus and most effective way to disseminate this curricular content. PMID: 33008946 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
