Webinar: Setting up and Running an OSCE Examination, an ADEE PACs COP Workshop

In preparation for ADEE 2025, the Performance Assessment of Clinical Skills Community of Practice leads would like to invite you to attend and participate in a webinar to discuss the setting up and running of an OSCE examination for dentistry. In this free online workshop we will invite members to share experience and expertise, discuss and collaborate. This free session will be held on 13^th June at 8 am UK time. The focus of the first workshop will be tips around setting up and running a robust OSCE examination. We also hope to run a second workshop focused more around post-exam analysis, feedback to students and marking schemes.

If you are interested in attending, or just being part of this COP community, please share your details / thoughts here. By submitting this form, you are consenting to your details being held online by Newcastle University. Your information will not be shared outside of this group.

Survey: "AI in Oral Health Education of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students."

The Special Interest Group on AI in Oral Health Education, as part of the ADEE Dublin 2025 Meeting, is conducting a brief international survey to explore how AI is being used in dental education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The survey focuses on AI integration in curricula, perceived benefits and challenges, and institutional support for educators. It takes 3-5 minutes to complete and includes mostly multiple-choice questions, with a few open-ended ones. Responses are anonymous and will help shape the group’s upcoming discussion on AI in dental education. Participate in this survey following this link.
