In total, 55% reported having experience of IPE. Quantitative analysis revealed that the respondents were receptive to the idea that incorporating shared learning in their curricula will benefit communication, teamwork skills, and patient care. A statistically significantly weaker identification with a professional role in the context of interprofessional collaboration of dental students and dental hygiene students was found compared with dental assistant students (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.01). Dental and dental hygiene students perceived IPE less beneficial to their professional development than dental assistant students. However, individual variation of opinion in valuing collaborative relationships with other healthcare professionals was evident. Qualitative data supported these findings, with students of all disciplines reporting an appreciation for interprofessional collaboration particularly in clinical practice.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Oral health care students had, on average, a positive attitude toward IPE.
