Since its foundation, almost 50 years ago, ADEE has always aspired for European dental schools and programmes to be a guiding light in the delivery of best practices in education. Indeed, the core aim of the European Journal of Dental Education is the sharing of research in educational best practice as it applies to Dentistry and its allied professionals.
As the decades have evolved it has become increasingly important for dental educators to be appropriately qualified not only in evidence-based dentistry but also in evidenced based education. While there are many educational publications and resources applications to medical education those that focus on dental and oral health professionals’ education are limited.
ADEE feels it is now well positioned to address this gap by the creation of a series of resources in evidenced based education and share these openly with members to improve their academic practices.
A taskforce has been created to scope the need for evidence-based education resources for oral health professionals.
