Abstract

Consistent with their clinical and scientific maturity, D2 students minimally performed as advanced beginners at the end of their D2 year.

Conceptualizing the next patient interaction: A clinical skillset using an emulation model in critical thinking

“…The thought process becomes the learning outcome, the learning guide, and the assessment instrument all in one. An emulation model has been used to develop critical thinking skillsets for treatment planning, caries risk assessment, geriatric risk assessment, technology decision‐making, Ethics, literature search and critique, interprofessional practice, social work, case presentation, and behavior management 1,9–18 …”

The Contents, Methods, and Assessment of Evidence-Based Dentistry Education: A Scoping Review

“…30,46 In the early 2010s, the progressive EBD curriculum at University of Iowa was designed to model independent learning and emphasize accessible online resources for practicing EBD. 21,47 Regarding conceptual framework and related procedures for curriculum reform, different dental schools provided transferable experience for other schools. 38,[48][49][50] Besides, dental educators from 20 dental schools in 15 countries published a co-signed article in 2008 on how to develop a successful EBD curriculum.…”

Critical thinking: Inquiring culture, learning outcomes examples, a call for learning models, and outcomes

“…Using this concept, learning outcomes and assessments have been developed for several aspects of patient care the dentist uses daily, even hourly: treatment planning, caries risk assessment, geriatric risk assessment, technology decision-making, literature search and critique, behavior management, case presentation, interprofessional practice, ethics, social work, evidence-based dentistry, and conceptualizing a patient interaction. [5][6][7][8][9][10] All are skillsets the master clinician uses on a daily, even hourly basis. Each has been peer reviewed and appears in the literature.…”
