Inaugural face to face meeting : Exploring the teaching and assessment of professionalism in oral health professional education

Session synopsis:

Inaugural face to face business and discussion meeting : Exploring the teaching and assessment of professionalism in oral health professional education.

Programme:

Professionalism is an essential competence within the ADEE graduate framework.

The ADEE membership is undeniably diverse in terms of general language and culture but more specifically in terms of health systems, regulatory body, history of development of the oral health professions and the overarching health and educational cultures. This has a most significant impact on oral health education in general but on Professionalism and Ethics (PE) education in particular. We have therefore established a Community of Practice in Professionalism to collaborate on founding a shared culture, ethos and body of work to support ADEE members in establishing, developing and enhancing their PE curricula.

Please join us in the inaugural session of our COP in Professionalism and begin the dialogue.

We will discuss aims and objectives as well as the agenda for this upcoming year.
