Area of Science:

Dental Education
Healthcare Management Education

Background:

The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) outlines key competencies for general dentists, many related to practice management.
Current teaching methods, primarily lectures in later years, inadequately address higher-level learning for these competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a framework for integrating the competency-based education model into dental practice management curricula.
To enhance the teaching, learning, and assessment of essential practice management skills for future dentists.

Main Methods:

The article proposes a framework for applying competency-based education principles.
This framework aims to shift from traditional lecture-based formats to more effective learning strategies.

Main Results:

The proposed framework facilitates a move towards higher-order learning skills.
It supports the development of competent general dentists equipped with practice management expertise.

Conclusions:

A competency-based education model offers a superior approach to teaching dental practice management.
Implementing this model is crucial for developing dentists with essential practice management skills.
