To address the demands of a collaborative and patient-centered health care system, the Institute of Medicine (2011) recommended workforce innovations focused on core competency development and education of all health professionals in oral health care. In response to these recommendations, the Human Resources and Services Administration convened key stakeholders to develop a set of core clinical oral health competencies for primary care clinicians. Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University, the largest health sciences school in metropolitan Boston, is cultivating the next generation of health professionals equipped with core clinical competencies in oral health. The purpose of this session is to describe strategies for multi-level leadership engagement in oral health.  Educational interventions include: (a) interprofessional socialization, (b) train-the-trainer workshops, (c) team leadership assessment, (d) cooperative education, and (e) community-service learning innovations.  These strategies have been implemented and evaluated as part of an effort to build capacity and expand the oral health network through students, faculty, and preceptor/clinician engagement.
