Dental schools face recruitment challenges, especially for underrepresented and low-income (URM/LI) students. Curricula perceptions differ, but URM students found clinical rotations beneficial for diverse patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Public Health
  • Health Workforce Research

Background:

  • Dental schools face significant recruitment challenges for underrepresented and low-income (URM/LI) individuals.
  • Existing curricula may not fully meet the perceived needs of diverse student populations.
  • Community-based dental education programs aim to address these disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the framework for evaluating the Pipeline, Profession, and Practice: Community-Based Dental Education Program.
  • To assess the program's effectiveness in recruiting and retaining URM/LI individuals in dentistry.
  • To identify disparities in student perceptions of dental curricula and clinical experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative data collection.

  • Employing data triangulation for robust analysis.
  • Establishing baseline measures using the 2003 American Dental Education Association (ADEA) survey of dental school seniors.

    • Main Results:

    • Baseline data reveal a critical recruitment challenge for URM/LI persons in dental schools.
    • Significant gaps exist in the perceived adequacy of curricula between URM and non-URM students.
    • While most seniors viewed extramural rotations positively, URM students reported enhanced ability to care for diverse groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing recruitment challenges requires both short-term and long-term pipeline initiatives.
    • Curriculum development should consider the diverse needs and perceptions of all students.
    • Community-based dental education shows promise in improving cultural competency and diverse patient care skills.
