This article discusses competency-based education at Indiana University School of Dentistry (IUSD). Competency-based education is not a new concept in health education, but is relatively new to dental education. The authors hope that this article will help Indiana dentists understand a process that will radically alter the way we teach dentistry at IUSD.
