Assessing Professionalism in Dental Education: A Multi‐Domain Approach across Classroom‐Based, Preclinical, Clinical, and Remediation Curricula

Professionalism is a cornerstone of dental education, encompassing the ethical principles, behaviors, and attitudes expected of dental practitioners. Its multifaceted nature manifests uniquely across various domains of the dental curriculum, including classroom‐based, preclinical, clinical, and remediation settings. Effectively assessing professionalism within these diverse contexts presents significant challenges, necessitating a structured, multi‐contextual assessment approach. This paper explores current methodologies for assessing professionalism in each educational domain, identifies existing challenges, and proposes strategies to enhance measurement practices, ultimately advocating for a standardized framework to ensure consistent and comprehensive evaluation throughout dental education.
