The high level of stress and anxiety that can exist within dental education is well known. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, an increased emphasis was placed on student well-being and the importance of managing the educational environment to promote it. The pandemic has further highlighted the imperative need for support of student and provider well-being.

The intent of this session is to engage in conversation about student well-being in dental education. Join us as we explore the mosaic of perspectives from diverse panelists, including dental student depression and managing provider wellness in large health-systems, with special attention to resilience and the critical role of integrating wellness policies at the institutional level. The audience will obtain translational knowledge that will provide the ability to envision and implement preventive self-care and well-being programs within their dental education programs to better support the well-being of students, staff and faculty.

Learning Objectives:

List the challenges to student and provider well-being.
Identify and list key contributors and barriers to resilience.
Describe the importance of organizational policies in creating a culture of well-being for students and providers.
