| Outreach Teaching: Does Clinical Teaching of Dental Students Outside the Dental School Improve their Education? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sponsored by: Education Research, IFDEA | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: Outreach teaching is becoming popular around the world to provide dental undergraduates with an experience of working in a clinical environment outside the dental school. The principles are based in those of medical education where the majority of an undergraduate clinical experience is provided within hospitals and clinical practices other than those of the medical school. As yet very little has been reported in the literature as to the success or failure of this approach in dentistry. The symposium will be of interest to all member of the dental faculty involved in teaching undergraduates. The symposium will take the form of an open and frank discussion of outreach teaching, providing views and experiences from around the world. The speakers will present a number of different viewpoints and experiences in order to stimulate interest and debate. The audience will be encouraged to participate in the debate in order to share experiences both good and bad of this, novel to dentistry educational, methodology that is increasing in popularity but is not fully understood in educational terms | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
