    First-year dental students identify more with peers than practitioners, seeing themselves as distinct from patients. Dental educators should acknowledge this perception to prevent depersonalization in dental care delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Health Care Provider Professionalism
    • Student Perception Studies

    Background:

    • Dental education integrates technical skill acquisition with the development of a professional healthcare provider identity.
    • Understanding student perceptions is crucial for effective pedagogical strategies and professional socialization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare first-year dental students' self-perception against their views of dental practitioners, senior students, and patients.
    • To identify key reference groups influencing early-career dental student identity formation.

    Main Methods:

    • A perception survey was administered to first-year dental students.
    • Students were asked to rate their identification with distinct groups: dental practitioners, upper-class dental students, and patients.

    Main Results:

    • First-year dental students reported stronger identification with upper-class dental students compared to practicing dentists.
    • A significant perceived difference was noted between first-year students and dental patients.
    • Self-identification patterns suggest a developmental stage distinct from established practitioners.

    Conclusions:

    • First-year dental students' self-perceptions align more closely with their immediate peers than with experienced dental practitioners.
    • Educators should be aware of this identification dynamic to foster a smoother transition into the professional role.
    • Addressing the perceived distance from patients is essential for promoting patient-centered care and avoiding depersonalization.
