ProposalProposal
• That a task force be formed to consider mechanisms for developing contemporary sets of foundation knowledge statements and for the revision of the existing ADEA clinical competencies.
ADEA – COS – 2004 – W. DavenportADEA – COS – 2004 – W. Davenport
Overall ObjectivesOverall Objectives
• Develop a contemporary document comparable to the "course guidelines" that were published years ago.
• Recommend a more appropriate domain-topic list for the ADA biannual clock-hour report.
• Recommend a more content specific domain-topic outline for National Board Exams.
• Develop an "integrated" competency approach to dental education.
• Update the current ADEA clinical competencies list.• Develop integrated biomedical sciences basic and
foundation knowledge statements to support the ADEA recommended clinical competencies.
ADEA – COS – 2004 – W. DavenportADEA – COS – 2004 – W. Davenport
GoalsGoals
• The development of a more focused, contemporary, and streamlined set of foundation knowledge statements should allow dental schools to modify and fine-tune their curricula so that foundation knowledge can be relatively consistent among dental schools.
• The foundation knowledge developed will be the underlying information necessary for competency-based education.
• In addition, National Board Test Construction Committees can use these sets to help ensure questions represent contemporary curricular content.

Basic Foundation Knowledge - BFKBasic Foundation Knowledge - BFK
• A student must have command of certain basic or foundation knowledge. Gaining this information occurs throughout the life of the individual at every level of education. Students enter dental school with varying degrees of education and life experiences. It is assumed that all possess that level of knowledge contained in the courses required for admission. A dental school education must build on this awareness with additional foundation knowledge in the biomedical sciences from which the student can proceed toward the prescribed level of clinical competency in general dentistry.

Integrative Knowledge - IKIntegrative Knowledge - IK
• Once the basic principles of biomedical science (BFK) are understood, they must be supplemented with specific integrative knowledge upon which clinical competencies are based.
