Sophisticated technology and modern teaching methods shape dentistry curriculum at the University of Eastern Finland
Building a dynamic learning environment is never an easy task, but being able to design a dentistry curriculum and modern learning facilities from scratch certainly helps. In 2010, the Institute of Dentistry at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) had the benefit to start from the very beginning to combine a holistic approach on oral health care with the latest technology. 13 years later, the foundation of dental education at UEF still relies on state-of-the-art facilities that enable a seamless transition from simulation to clinical work and a focus on ergonomics and wellbeing.
