Recommendations for Enhancing Oral Health Professional Education Through the Student Voice: The ADEE-EDSA Partnership in Action

Abstract

The student voice plays a crucial role in shaping the curriculum and learning outcomes by providing unique insights into teaching and learning experiences. This paper has been written collaboratively with the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) Curriculum Taskforce and the European Dental Students Association (EDSA) following a number of years of collaborative working. The paper discusses the increasing focus on, and importance of, involving Oral Health Professional (OHP) students as partners—and ways of recognising and jointly acting on student feedback and ideas. The paper describes various collaborative projects between ADEE and EDSA and makes recommendations for areas that would merit further exploration with students and educators alike.
