In the ACTA faculty of Dentistry research is performed on several aspects of education in dentistry. This includes research on the evaluation of courses within the curriculum, research on new teaching methods, such as the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), and development and evaluation of a computed aided digital teaching system of pre-clinical skills (the Simodont), and comparison with biomedical education elsewhere in Europe.
The input of academic personnel is limited to staff of the education institute, and to some staff members of the various departments.
