Abstract
The Curriculum Outcomes Review and Evaluation (CORE) system of outcomes assessment used in the accreditation of Canadian Dental Faculties by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the Canadian Dental Association is described. The CORE system, which has become an integral part of the regular accreditation site visit of Canadian dental predoctoral programs consists of (a) two methods of chart review, (b) assessment of the performance of a random sample of final year students in both diagnosis and treatment planning and in case presentation, (c) a structured observation in the clinical setting, (d) the application of a detailed and focused survey instrument prior to the site visit, and (e) the solicitation of feedback from involved students, faculty members, school administrators and accreditation site visitors. The overall response to the CORE program was favorable and plans to expand the program to dental hygiene accreditation are described.
