Accreditation evaluation framework research – seeking focus group participants

Thank you to everyone who engaged with RAND Australia and participated in the recent surveys for phase 2 of the research on Understanding and evaluating the impact of dental program accreditation. The aim of this work is to identify and measure the impact of program accreditation, and the strategic work we do to support accreditation, has on producing competent and culturally safe dental practitioners ready to meet the oral health needs of the community.

The next stage of this project will involve focus groups with staff of education providers and assessors and RAND Australia will be looking to engage individuals for these groups over the coming weeks and months. If you are interested in participating in a focus group and sharing your experiences to support this work, please contact the Project Leader at RAND, Dr Joanne Nicholson, joannen@rand.org
