An application of outcomes assessment in dental education.
The outcomes assessment process developed by the New Jersey Dental School is described. The paper identifies required resources, presents selected outcome measures, reviews strengths and weaknesses of the process, and reports how ongoing assessment activities have evolved. Documentation produced as part of the outcomes assessment process is also described, allowing health professions schools to implement a similar process.
