Abstract:
In this paper the author gives his opinion on the existing arrangements for assessment of vocational dental practitioners (VDPs) (outside Scotland), during dental vocational training. He critically evaluates the arrangements in relation to the aims and objectives for dental vocational training. Potential improvements to the existing system are then proposed and new assessment techniques suggested that may help to provide a more robust and relevant educational assessment strategy for dental vocational training in the future.
