TI  - Implementation of a patient-centered approach to clinical dental education: a 
      five-year reflection.

AB  - The intent of the redesign of the clinical component of the Harvard School of 
      Dental Medicine (HSDM) curriculum from a traditional numerical procedures-based 
      system to a patient-based comprehensive care system was to improve both patient 
      care and student learning. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to 
      evaluate the outcomes of and students' perspectives on this patient-centered 
      comprehensive care model introduced in 2009. Data were obtained from the school's 
      Office of Dental Education for a study sample consisting of 205 fourth-year 
      dental students in the graduating classes of 2009 through 2014 at HSDM. The 
      results showed that students were completing more than the required number of 
      comprehensive patient cases on average. A survey given to the Class of 2014 found 
      that the respondents (35 of 36 students) were generally satisfied with the new 
      curriculum and the clinical experience in relation to continuation of care and 
      perceptions of comprehensive care. The results of this study suggest that the 
      redesigned patient-centered assessment model of the clinical component of the 
      curriculum helped improve patient care and student learning.
