Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The major shift in dental education in the past couple of decades has been away from process-clock-hours and number of clinical procedures-to outcomes. In order to be accredited today, schools must document that their graduates have the skills, knowledge, 8nd values required to begin independent dental practice. There has been a corresponding change in assessment methods. Graduates must demonstrate independent competency in all aspects of dental practice, and schools must provide evidence that their programs function as claimed.
