Self‐perceived preparedness of new dental graduates from a Middle Eastern university
Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Introduction</jats:title><jats:p>Preparedness for independent clinical practice is a core goal of undergraduate dental education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the self‐reported preparedness for the dental practice among new dental graduates from a University in the Middle East.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Following ethics approval, a purposive sampling techniques were used to invite newly qualified dental graduates at a Middle Eastern University. A validated research instrument, namely the Dental Undergraduate Preparedness Assessment Scale (DU‐PAS), was used to evaluate the self‐perceived preparedness of the participants. Data collection was undertaken online using Google Forms and data were analysed to compute the descriptive statistics, reliability and demographic differences among the participants.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>A total of 82 participants provided their response yielding a response rate of 68%. The participants included 49 males and 33 females. The overall reliability of DU‐PAS was excellent. (α = 0.93). The participants included less than 40% of participants were able independently to prescribe medications, assess orthodontics needs and perform endodontic treatment on multirooted teeth. In addition, more than 65% indicated low confidence in evaluating new dental materials and products, interpreting new research findings and behavioural management of children.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>The present findings identified strengths and weaknesses of new dental graduates from a Middle Eastern university. The participants were confident in basic clinical skills but lower confidence was reported for complex dental procedures. The findings highlight the learning needs of new dental graduates and can serve to inform the undergraduate curriculum to enhance the preparedness of future cohorts of dental graduates.</jats:p></jats:sec>
