The modern dental student has been educated in an increasingly social media- driven society. Recent publications detailing dental students’ use of digital resources have reported them using online video and content-sharing platforms for both learning and leisure. Students preparing for careers in dentistry are also using online resources, such as YouTube, to supplement their formal dental education though these online videos are not usually recommended by dental school faculty.
Join us for this session where we’ll review research findings of dental students using social media to learn about clinical procedures and discuss opportunities for dental educators to respond to students’ learning preferences for easily accessible, visual learning content.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe how dental students use social media to learn about clinical dental procedures.
• Discuss both the positive and negative impacts of social media on dental education.
• Explore opportunities for dental educators to respond to student's preferences for visual learning resources.
