Abstract:
Increasingly clinical teaching for all health professionals is moving out of teaching hospitals and into community settings. A recent workshop reviewed the place of outreach teaching in undergraduate dental education. This paper defines outreach teaching in terms of its main components; identifies its benefits for different stakeholders; sets out what is required to make it work; and looks at current trends offering opportunities for expansion.
