Profession‐Specific Ageism Changes Following a Two‐Day Long‐Term Care Placement in Dental Students
A brief community-based placement in a long-term care facility was associated with reduced profession-specific ageism among dental students, whereas general ageism remained unchanged. Improvement was more likely among students starting higher on ASDS-J, indicating preferential benefits for those with stronger profession-specific ageism at entry.
