Why it matters in dental schools?
Dental education is reported to be a stressful training pathway in higher education. Across Europe, Middle East and Africa region, both students and staff report high rates of stress, burnout, anxiety, and emotional fatigue—exacerbated by clinical workloads, academic pressures, and the drive for perfectionism. Promoting wellbeing is not just about supporting individual health; it’s about sustaining the resilience, safety, and performance of future oral health professionals.
Increasing wellbeing promotes:
- Greater academic engagement
- Improve clinical performance
- Reduced attrition among students and staff
- Healthier, more compassionate learning environments
- Improved patient care outcomes
Investing in wellbeing is not optional—it’s fundamental for the future of dental education and practice.
