Dental Education

We inform development, enhancement and delivery of quality education for dental professionals.  We aspire to improve our own students' learning experience and seek to improve the quality of graduates in the dental school.

Our researchers come from a broad range of backgrounds. They work in basic sciences and clinical settings. They investigate a wide range of aspects associated with dental education. They also work in areas of specific interest.

Our research aims are 

  • create a forum for educational research within the dental school
  • identify strategic research priorities, funding opportunities and complimentary collaborations
  • nurture 'dental educators' who are new to educational research through shared experience
