Alumni-Informed Curriculum in Pediatric Dentistry: Narratives from a Quality Improvement Evaluation

Recent alumni wish they had had more hands-on pediatric dental experiences in dental school to better prepare them for the challenges they face in practice. These experiences may be limited, and one suggestion would be to channel these opportunities to practitioners who will work in areas where there are insufficient resources and fewer options for referral.Knowledge Transfer Statement:The recommendations from this article can be used by dental educators to improve clinical and didactic teaching and to ensure dental learners' education and competency.
