Creating the Graduating European Dentists Domain 5
Session synopsis: 
The ‘Graduating European Dentist’ curriculum is a suite of documents published in 2017 following two years of work with a dedicated taskforce comprising various representatives from European partner countries.

The curriculum was developed using a learning outcomes-based approach which facilitates the process of constructive alignment. The learning outcomes were determined followed a process of comprehensive curriculum inventory, and were considered by all stakeholders through a period of open consultation.

To date, the curriculum documents have been cited over 180 times since their publication, and institutions globally continue to use them to formulate their local curricula – there is also now an online digital resource dedicated to the curricula:

https://adee.org/projects/graduating-european-dentist/graduating-europea...

The 4 current domains are:

  1. Professionalism
  2. Safe and effective clinical practice
  3. Patient centred care
  4. Dentistry in Society

It is the intention of the taskforce to introduce a much-needed 5th domain - ‘Research’.

The session will be co-chaired by Dr James Field (ADEE Executive member) and Ms Ivana Ligusová (President, European Dental Students’ Association).
