CEST (Madrid, Paris, Berlin)
The ‘Graduating European Dentist’ curriculum is a suite of documents published in 2017 following two years of work with a dedicated taskforce comprising various representatives from European partner countries.
The curriculum was developed using a learning outcomes-based approach which facilitates the process of constructive alignment. The learning outcomes were determined followed a process of comprehensive curriculum inventory, and were considered by all stakeholders through a period of open consultation.
To date, the curriculum documents have been cited over 180 times since their publication, and institutions globally continue to use them to formulate their local curricula – there is also now an online digital resource dedicated to the curricula:
https://adee.org/projects/graduating-european-dentist/graduating-europea...
The 4 current domains are:
- Professionalism
- Safe and effective clinical practice
- Patient centred care
- Dentistry in Society
It is the intention of the taskforce to introduce a much-needed 5th domain - ‘Research’.
The session will be co-chaired by Dr James Field (ADEE Executive member) and Ms Ivana Ligusová (President, European Dental Students’ Association).
