The Graduating European Dentist

The Graduating European Dentist (GED) is the current revision of ADEE’s Profile and Competence of the European Dentist. This current version respects the previous work in style, format and approach while also adding considerably to the advancement of European Dental Education.

Following the proven ADEE ethos of embracing collaborative and co-creation approaches to reach a broad consensus that is respectful of the diversity of the European context, it was delivered by an international taskforce and through considerable consultation.

Objectives

Delivering the Graduating European Dentist ADEE’s taskforce increases emphasis on important curriculum components such as patient safety, working as a team and patient‐centred care. There is also an increased emphasis on teaching excellence, student satisfaction and student preparedness and support. Guidance relating to methods of teaching and learning, and assessment (educational measurement), is also provided. It is anticipated that this new format will further increase accessibility and utility for educators, institutions, societies and regulators, across the sector.

It is within this spirt of consensus and accessibility that the decision was taken to evolve the GED beyond a static document an turn it into an active and dynamic resource for educators and students.
