ACTA Education Institute

Research on Dental Education

Research objectives
In the ACTA faculty of Dentistry research is performed on several aspects of education in dentistry. This includes research on the evaluation of courses within the curriculum, research on new teaching methods, such as the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), and development and evaluation of a computed aided digital teaching system of pre-clinical skills (the Simodont), and comparison with biomedical education elsewhere in Europe.

The input of academic personnel is limited to staff of the education institute, and to some staff members of the various departments. The research should not be considered as a separate programme; however it is intended that this research will increase in the coming years.
