This dynamic webinar will spotlight some of the latest innovations in digital dentistry, simulation and immersive learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision-making. Participants will gain insights and strategies to effectively integrate emerging technologies into curricula and encourage faculty adoption and foster interdisciplinary collaboration, empowering educators to better prepare students for the evolving landscape of oral health care.

Gain practical insights into how intentional curriculum review, mentorship and collaborative feedback can transform teaching practices and drive stronger student outcomes. Whether you’re refining an existing approach or building from the ground up, you’ll leave with actionable strategies to advance curriculum excellence at your institution.

This webinar spotlight features two U.S. dental schools—one predoctoral and one postdoctoral program—that have successfully implemented entrustment frameworks that use EPAs. Join us to learn first-hand why and how these programs engaged in change, and what they did to move an entrustment framework using EPAs into their settings. Hear the challenges and opportunities during this shift, and the highlights of EPAs for both learners and faculty.

Attendees will learn how intraoral scanning, diagnostic visualization and patient-engagement tools can support earlier disease identification, enable better tracking and documentation over time, improve communication with patients and reinforce preventive care behaviors. The session will discuss practical approaches for incorporating these tools into predoctoral and postgraduate curricula, faculty workflows and assessment strategies.

This webinar will focus on strengthening communication skills when caring for patients whose experiences or needs may not be fully addressed within traditional dental education and clinical training. Drawing on established educational frameworks, the session will explore strategies for integrating person-centered care and patient-related behavioral and contextual factors into dental curricula. Participants will gain practical insights related to curriculum design, learning environments, and clinical teaching practices that support effective, patient-centered oral health care.

This webinar will share lessons learned from a four-year journey to integrate dental technology, from D1 to D4 at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. During this webinar, we will discuss the good, bad and ugly of curriculum innovation. Participants will learn three key elements for dental institutions to succeed in making dental technology accessible in their learning environment.

This installment of The Pulse of Progress: Legacy Builders in Oral Health speaker series examines how stigma, chronic stress, and prior negative healthcare encounters influence oral health behaviors, trust, and outcomes, particularly among communities that have historically faced barriers to access and representation. Participants will gain insight into how dental education and training can intentionally equip clinicians to recognize these dynamics, strengthen provider–patient relationships, and support more equitable oral health outcomes across diverse communities.

Join us to gain practical insights into curriculum redesign and leave with ideas to enhance integration and better prepare students for the evolving health care landscape.

This faculty development webinar explores how publicly available population oral health data can be interpreted and applied within dental education and academic practice. Speakers will highlight key oral health trends and demonstrate practical ways faculty can integrate population-level data into teaching, research, and community-engaged learning.
