Competency-based education is now the standard for dental training worldwide. This approach helps define minimum knowledge and behavioral standards for dentists globally, respecting local contexts.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Competency-based education (CBE) has become the dominant model for dental education globally over the past decade.
  • CBE principles guide external program reviews, curriculum design, student assessment, and program evaluation in dental schools.
  • The philosophical underpinnings of CBE influence national agencies and institutional practices in higher education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and distill recommendations for dental undergraduate programs regarding competency-based education.
  • To provide a reference for institutions and administrators implementing or refining CBE in dental education.
  • To explore the global application of CBE in defining minimum standards for dental practitioners.

Main Methods:

  • Document review and synthesis of existing literature and recommendations on competency-based dental education.
  • Distillation of key principles and best practices from various global sources.
  • Analysis of the role of competency statements in shaping dental curricula and assessment.

Main Results:

  • Competency statements are central to the philosophical approach of CBE in dental education.
  • CBE influences external program reviews and internal institutional processes like curriculum development and student assessment.
  • Global application of CBE can establish a minimum knowledge base and behavioral standard for dentists worldwide.

Conclusions:

  • Competency-based education is the accepted norm for dental training, influencing curriculum and assessment globally.
  • Implementing CBE requires respecting local limitations and values while striving for universal standards.
  • The reviewed recommendations serve as a valuable resource for dental undergraduate programs and their administration.
