The assessment of dental students--a university education?

Br Dent J. 1993 Sep 25;175(6):220-3. doi: 10.1038/sj.bdj.4808279.

Abstract

In this paper I would like to pose the question, 'Does a degree from a dental school guarantee a well-educated dentist?' At first sight this may appear to be a question related to the curriculum or to the quality of teaching, but the awarding of a degree depends entirely upon assessment.
