A two-day Faculty Development Program (FDP) on Competency-Based Dental Education (CBDE) was successfully conducted on 29th and 30th May 2026 to enhance faculty expertise in structured and competency-based assessment methods.

The program provided in-depth training on Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE), and Structured Viva Cards, enabling faculty members to strengthen their teaching, assessment, and evaluation practices across various dental disciplines.

The impact of the program was evaluated using the Kirkpatrick Four-Level Model, which demonstrated positive outcomes in knowledge acquisition and the effective implementation of learned skills within departmental teaching activities.

The FDP concluded successfully, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to advancing competency-based dental education and improving the quality of student assessment.
