Bridging Classrooms and Communities: The Transformative Impact of Community‐Based Dental Education on the Learning Experiences of Undergraduate Students
The study shows that dental students value CBDE for developing essential skills for community engagement. However, challenges differ across socio-cultural contexts, highlighting the need for more localised and supportive frameworks to improve CBDE experiences. The variation in student perceptions by age, education stage and country suggests that CBDE strategies should be flexible and adaptable to address the diverse learning needs of students.
