Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Community Health
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Community service-learning (CSL) provides dental students with practical experience and fosters critical reflection.
  • Equity-deserving groups benefit from increased access to oral health care through CSL initiatives.
  • Understanding student experiences in CSL is crucial for optimizing dental training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To thematically explore moments of revelation and struggle experienced by senior dental students.
  • To analyze student reflections on providing oral health services to equity-deserving communities in British Columbia.
  • To identify key learning points and challenges within CSL placements for dental trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional design utilizing semi-structured written reflections from three graduating dental student cohorts.
  • Analysis of 205 reflections (out of 764 collected) after excluding procedural descriptions.
  • Exploratory thematic analysis with iterative coding to identify overarching themes and categories.

Main Results:

  • Four overarching themes emerged: 'learning across differences' and 'pause-breathe-refine'.
  • Identified detrimental impacts on student learning from controlling mentorship, placement challenges, and observation-only experiences.
  • Most reflections indicated transformative educational and professional growth, alongside critical insights into underserved populations.

Conclusions:

  • Community service-learning placements are vital for dental students' education, professional development, and understanding of diverse populations.
  • Students critically evaluated the negative influence of controlling mentorship and implementation hurdles within CSL.
  • Further research is recommended to assess the long-term impact of CSL after addressing identified challenges.
