Why it matters in dental schools?
Leadership in dental education is no longer the domain of senior administrators alone. Students, early-career staff, clinical educators, and researchers all play a role in shaping their learning and working environments. Dental schools - facing rapid change, resource constraints, and cultural diversity - distributed, inclusive leadership is key to progress.
Instilling effective and compassionate leadership skills in students and early career educators is paramount to the future of our professions.
Developing leadership:
- Builds resilient, future-ready graduates
- Fosters teamwork and trust in clinical and academic settings
- Supports equality, diversity and inclusivity
- Promotes professionalism
- Strengthens the identity and impact of dental schools within health systems
When we grow leaders at every level, we shape a stronger, more compassionate dental profession.
