PCE-009 - To Calibrate and How to Calibrate, That is the Question!

Calibration has been defined as: “standardize (something) by determining the deviation from a standard so as to ascertain the proper correction factors”. In dental education, calibration means to encourage a fair and equitable learning environment, to promote uniformity in instruction, and to reduce inconsistencies. But are we there yet? This workshop will cover the expectations of faculty and learners, as well as the processes involved with calibration. Participants will learn about the impact of calibration on performance in the teaching and the learning arenas and the influence of calibration on lifting dental education to a higher level.
