Abstract:
The importance of quality-assured teaching development is recognised within the new 'Graduating European Dentist' curriculum. In addition, educators within higher education are now increasingly required to demonstrate good standing in terms of education and educating their profession. Standards and expectations exist within the discipline of medicine, but there is little in the way of a general professional standards document for dental education that accounts for the multitude of training and teaching development pathways available to the wider dental team. As such, this paper aims to examine models from established professional development frameworks that may be applied to standards for dental education, highlight important considerations for the development of standards for professional dental educational team development, and provide guidance for individuals wishing to plan, record, map and reflect on their professional educational development.
