Abstract

This position paper outlines the areas of competence and learning outcomes of "The Graduating European Dentist" that specifically relate to Professionalism. Professionalism is a commitment to a set of values, behaviours and relationships, which underpin the trust that the public hold in dental care professionals. Shortcomings within this domain are often responsible for patient dissatisfaction, concern and complaint-and emphasis is placed on the importance of embedding these values from an early stage within the curriculum.

Keywords: Curriculum; Dental; Education; Learning outcomes; Patient satisfaction; Professionalism; Undergraduate.
