A University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry Workshop

Preparing dental students for independent practice requires more than completing procedures. It requires confidence, judgment, and readiness to be trusted with patient care. Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) provide a powerful structure for making that readiness visible, measurable, and actionable in dental education.

This interactive workshop is designed specifically for faculty and educational leaders interested in strengthening how clinical competence is taught, assessed, and advanced over time. Participants will explore how an entrustment framework using EPAs can be used to support developmental progression, guide instructional design, and inform entrustment decisions in pre-doctoral education.

Space is limited — registration is open until May 15th, 2026!
