The Graduating European Dentist Curriculum Framework: A Multi-Stakeholder View

Abstract

In 2025 the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) Graduating European Dentist (GED) taskforce held an international multi-stakeholder event that undertook a deep-dive into the perceived ideologies underpinning Oral Health Professional (OHP) education. This paper reports how the event was planned and conducted—and reports the challenges that were discussed in relation to delivering OHP education, potential solutions to each challenge, and priorities for which the ADEE GED taskforce should focus its activity. Due to the very collaborative and fruitful nature of this event, ADEE plans to hold further multi-stakeholder meetings across Europe.
