This position paper outlines the areas of competence and learning outcomes of "The Graduating European Dentist" that specifically relate to Safe and Effective Clinical Practice. Dentists are required to ensure that they are capable of providing appropriate care for their patients, whilst also effectively managing and leading the wider clinical team. The care that is provided should align to a contemporaneous evidence base wherever possible, and the quality of care and the management systems that underpin it should be regularly audited and improved.
Keywords: clinical competence; curriculum; dental education; learning outcomes; professionalism; undergraduate.
