Continuing to Bridge the Clinical Gap

ADEE and HRV invite you to an online symposium on Digital Dentistry, with a particular focus on simulation within the Clinical Skills environment. Buiding on the Bridging the Gap workshops held at ADEE 2018 and 2019, this event will introduce ADEE's new platform supporting the delivery of digital dental education (DigEdDent), before experts from The University of Sheffield, Cardiff University (UK) and HRV (France) present the ways in which simulation is being used to provide meaningful and relevant qualitative feedback for students.

We will also discuss the ways in which the reflection process can be effectively supported and nurtured as part of the simulator experience. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion, and we look forward to welcoming you at the event.

Date of live presentation: 4th November 2020 @ 19:30 London time. 

On Demand: This session will also be recorded and made available at a later date on demand.
