Now that INBDE is a reality, dental institutions must intentionally integrate biomedical sciences and clinical sciences. As part of that process, it is important to align assessments to check the effectiveness of teaching integrated content. At the University of The Pacific, small group discussions using a PBL format that build on knowledge acquisition, application, and critical thinking was launched to prepare the students for INBDE and to become life-long learners. The presenters will discuss the types of assessments that were used and how they enhanced teaching and learning. Analytics on the assessments will be shared with the participants and appraised.
