This portfolio has been developed using many sources. It is based upon A Curriculum for UK Dental Foundation Programme Training commissioned by COPDEND and funded by the Department of Health in England. A substantial part of the Portfolio was developed by CVT Wales under the direction of the Postgraduate Dental Dean, Mr Eric Nash. The work on VT Competencies was done by Mike Milne, VT Adviser in the North West Deanery. The LEP Skills assessment was developed by the Mersey Deanery and is based on that developed in Scotland; the secondary care section is based on work done in the Welsh Deanery by Mr Eric Nash, the Postgraduate Dental Dean, and his team and in Mersey by Dr Collette Balmer with the support of the Postgraduate Dental Dean, Dr Brian Grieveson. Andrew North and Lee Worthington, VT Advisers in South Yorkshire / East Midlands, have reviewed some sections and mapped the various documents available on vocational training. Lee Worthington contributed the audit templates. Professor Farida Fortune, Chair of the Education Committee, Dental Faculty, Royal College of Surgeons England, provided the requirements for the new MJDS exam

Welcome to Dental Foundation Training in England and Wales


The Postgraduate Dental Deans and Directors UK are delighted to welcome you to year 2 of Dental Foundation Training in England and Wales. We would also wish to congratulate you on your appointment. You now have every opportunity to further develop your skills while gaining following your experience in primary dental care. This portfolio has been designed following consultation with many stakeholders involved in dental foundation training. It has been developed to be a value based portfolio which prompts you continually to reflect on your experiences throughout the year. You are encouraged to identify your own professional learning requirements in order for your Trainers to facilitate your further development. This portfolio will provide evidence of your commitment to your own continuing professional development and should be retained, as it may be requested by the GDC. If you intend to take one of the exams of the Dental Faculties of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in the UK, you should maintain this portfolio and keep evidence of competencies and certificates obtained during your training. For those taking the new MFDS exam of the English Joint Faculties, you will be required to submit some parts of your portfolio for assessment. For more details see Appendix 2. Dentists, in common with all healthcare professionals have as their primary goal the care and well being of patients. This portfolio is designed to help trainees manage the shift from apprentice style training, to trainee led learning and working in teams, with shared responsibilities for patient safety and clinical governance. The Portfolio This Portfolio for General Professional Training is your property and must be used and developed by you. It is designed to help you collate and draw together the information and evidence which demonstrates attainment of competences through the General Professional Training years. The purpose of the portfolio is to help you maximise the benefits you will get out of your General Professional Training years and is intended to become a record of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This record is an extremely important part of your early years of training, as it is expected now that you should provide evidence of your experience before you may progress to the next
4

stage. Also it should be looked upon as your portfolio of professional activity, which you will keep for a lifetime. It is essential then, that you keep the clinical activity in your log diary, and your educational activity record of appraisals accurate and up-to-date. There are many good reasons for this: You and your educational supervisor will be able to assess your progress and set educational objectives You will be able to identify gaps in your knowledge and clinical skills, and your strengths will be recognised and weaknesses rectified You will get into the habit of recording your experience; this will be a requirement for being appointed to further training programs and is a requirement of the GDC to stay on the Register (see below) It will be an aide-memoire for preparing your CV Your Deanery will be better able to evaluate the training post you hold for the training it provides. The Portfolio is based on the Competency Framework for the UK Dental Foundation Training Program. All Dentists in General Professional Training should be familiar with this curriculum of competencies. You should focus on attaining evidence in your portfolio that clearly demonstrates that you have achieved these competencies. This portfolio should be used in conjunction with the Competency framework for UK Dental Foundation Programs document While a Portfolio is a record of progression it should also be used to drive and develop good practice a learning portfolio. It will provide a structure from which to develop meetings with educational and clinical supervisors, to develop the habits of reflective learning and to help you manage the process of presenting the evidence of your competence at the end of the General Professional Training program. You have a responsibility to demonstrate that you are not only fit to practice but that you maintain your fitness to practice through continuing professional development. This portfolio will help you do that over the period of your General Professional Training.

Notes: Dental Foundation Training (DFT) has replaced the term GPT throughout the portfolio. The assessment process has been called the Dental Foundation Annual Review of Progress (DFARP) instead of the term RITA previously used in SpR training.

Introduction to the DF Year 2 Dental Training Portfolio


Postgraduate dental education is going through a process of change at the moment; this is having far reaching effects on everybody involved in Training and Education. The modernisation of the SHO grade has placed an increasing emphasis on Education as well as Service provision within Hospital Trusts. The Keys to this educational process are: Appraisal Assessment Personal Development Planning

Until December 2006, SHO posts were approved for training by the Royal Colleges. A new process for Quality Assurance of education and training will be developed by the SDEB during 2007/8. Deaneries will be using Appraisal and Assessment to monitor SHO progress within the Deanery. All SHOs should be familiar with the GDC document Maintaining Standards and Lifelong Learning (www.gdc-uk.org). There is also the impact of Clinical Governance, the cornerstones of which are audit of clinical activity and an ethos of good clinical care, combined with maintaining and improving standards of care. The purpose of this portfolio is to help keep a record of the key events which will take place during the SHO (DF2) contract. The aim is to bring together within one folder all the necessary documentation to allow appraisal and assessment to take place, and to facilitate the development of a personal development plan, which can be taken forward into the next post. Please start using the portfolio immediately, as it is not just part of the education training and assessment process, but also a reflection of personal progress and development. The portfolio is partly based on the Curriculum for the Foundation Years in Postgraduate medical education and training (www.mmc.nhs.uk). All doctors in a Foundation Programme must be familiar with the curriculum and the core competencies must be achieved. This is very similar for Dental SHOs who are the equivalent to an F2 doctor in training. They must also be familiar with the New Doctor-Transitional Edition 2005 (GMC 2005), and fully understand Good Medical Practice (GMC 2001). Both the Curriculum and the Portfolio are based on this, the headings of which are: Good clinical care Maintaining good practice Partnership with patients Working with colleagues and with teams Assuring and improving the quality of care Teaching and training Probity and health

While a Portfolio is a record of the progression it should also be used to drive and develop good practice a learning portfolio. It will facilitate the meetings between trainees and trainers and should help with personal reflection and self-evaluation. The Portfolio will also help organise your training and importantly your career progression backed by appropriate advice. The Portfolio also assists with the assessment process the details of which are laid out in the section on assessment. After assessment, at each stage, and after suitable reflection by both trainee and trainer a personal development plan can be agreed. The Portfolio is important and is your responsibility as a trainee to ensure that it is used and completed appropriately and effectively The overall focus of the Portfolio is to assist and document your progress through a programme which has been laid out in the curriculum leading to the acquisition of the core competencies which must be acquired before progression to specialist training. Good luck with your educational programme and enjoy your training. Important Information Postgraduate Deanery Departments of Postgraduate Dental Education have a responsibility to ensure that all necessary educational processes take place during your DF2 year. In order to do this efficiently we require you to do the following: 1. 2. Complete and return the core information form provided as soon as possible after commencement of your post. Following your meetings with your education supervisors, ensure the appropriate forms are completed and signed, and send a photocopy to the Associate Postgraduate Dental Dean, or appropriate administrator, for your Deanery record. If you have applied for study leave please ensure that the Deanery receives a photocopy of the completed form.

This is all an essential part of the assessment (DFARP1) process, so we would be grateful for your co-operation.

DF2 (SHO) appraisal and assessment guide


DFARP review and Personal Development Plan Learning and Appraisal Cycle for each six month post

Induction Meeting

Mid-Point Review Exit Assessment

Personal Development Plan

The purpose of this form is to record the first 3 stages of the Learning and Appraisal Cycle by producing a sequence of recorded interviews between and SHO and the training supervisor. The opinions expressed should reflect those of the medical and dental staff with whom the SHO has trained and the views of other Professional colleagues in order to ensure that the evaluation of the performance of the trainee is broadly based and multidisciplinary. The stages are: 1) An induction meeting, to make an educational contract with the SHO which determines the educational objectives of the trainee and the post and how these will be met. 2) A mid-point review, to assess the progress of the trainee and the training. 3) An exit assessment at the end of the post, to evaluate SHO performance and whether the educational objectives have been achieved. The final stage of the process is the drawing up of a Personal Development Plan by the SHO and trainer(s). This will provide the basis for the Induction Meeting in the next post. At the end of the 12 month training period this documentation will provide the evidence for the award of an appropriate DFARP grade by an external assessor.

How to use the learning portfolio


The overall focus of the portfolio is to assist and document your progress through a learning program, which you will plan with your educational supervisor. The Portfolio is in a number of parts, each designed to help you complete and organise different aspects of your learning and assessment. Section 1 Planning & Managing Your General Professional Training Sets out everything that you need to plan the development of your portfolio, including your self-evaluation, your agreement with your educational supervisor, all of which culminates in your Personal Development Plan. This also includes the formal parts of the process required in each placement and the forms that mark these important intervals. During your training program you must lead the development of your portfolio, identifying your learning needs and planning and adapting your approach as you go. To help you, the first part (1.1) is designed to provide you with the tools to help identify and describe your learning needs. This will enable you to have more constructive meetings with your educational and clinical supervisors. The forms or templates in this section of the Portfolio are designed to help you establish your learning needs and structure a constructive discussion with your educational supervisor. You are encouraged to adapt the forms to suit your particular educational needs, with the agreement of your clinical/educational supervisor. Section 2 Reflective Practice This section sets out guidance and basic templates, which may help you to structure your reflective learning. The second part of this section (1.2) sets out the formal review process. This is the only section in the portfolio that is prescriptive and that cannot be adapted Section 3 Presentation of Evidence Sets out the tools available to you to demonstrate your competence to your educational supervisor or an assessment panel at the end of Dental Foundation Training; including the formal tools that must be completed as part of the Program, along with guidance as to what else you could consider submitting as evidence of your developing competence. Section 4 - Records

Your log diary, together with the record of verifiable CPD, is perhaps the most important of the records to be kept. Every significant clinical activity should be recorded and authenticated by your educational supervisor. It does not matter what form the log takes, but a suggested version is available for you to photocopy at the end of this portfolio.

Dental Foundation Training Program DF2 (SHO equivalent) Personal Development Plan
The Personal Development Plan is designed to help you describe what you aim to achieve in each placement or possibly in the entire year. It should be the product of discussion with your supervisor and should be updated as often as is necessary, accepting of course that you should be able to refer back to the goals that you set yourself at the beginning. The template provided in the Portfolio is a good example to start with, but if in agreement with your educational supervisor you want to develop or adapt the form, then you are encouraged to do so. What is the learning need? The General Professional Training Program Curriculum covers a very wide range or core skills, both clinical and non-clinical. Everyone will have his or her own strong and weak points and it is important to begin to identify what you should focus on. Learning needs will also vary as you develop through the Training Program and your experience builds and consequently your PDP should be updated as you make progress. Similarly, although broad in nature, different competencies in curriculum may be more pertinent in different placements. As you consider the opportunities available to you in each placement, you should plan how you intend to make the most of them. How was this identified? As you progress in the General Professional Training Program, self-evaluation, reflective practice, multi source feedback and direct assessment will all provide different perspectives on your performance and development. It is important when setting your learning needs to be aware of what you are considering and that you are not missing important feedback that may be available to you. For example, if all your learning needs originate from one feedback source, it may be worth re-examining what other information is available to you. How will this be addressed and by when? This should identify what you intend to do during the year or placement, how you will develop your learning and, most importantly, how you will be assessed. While reflective practice is extremely important, the development in the portfolio of a series of assessments that shows development against the curriculum and progression towards competence is one of the key goals of the program. Setting yourself a target is always a good way to ensure progress. Discuss and agree realistic and achievable targets for making progress with your educational/clinical supervisor and record them here. Date completed? If you want to use the PDP forms as evidence in the assessment section of the portfolio, signature blocks have been included for your educational/clinical supervisor to sign off the fact that you have set yourself goals and seen them through. How you present your evidence of competence is up to you, but your clinical/educational supervisors should be able to help you.

Careers Management
Effective career planning and career management support is an integral part of DFT. Trainees are expected to be proactive in career planning and are encouraged to consider their possible career pathway when choosing DFT attachments, audit projects and research. Trainees should recognise that they may not be able to enter their first choice career option and should plan for this as necessary. Careers information may be obtained from the Postgraduate Deaneries and Royal Colleges (whose websites are good sources of information), and from the British Dental Association. Dentists who require generic personal advice should contact their local Director of Postgraduate Education, General Professional Training Program Tutor, or Hospital Dental Tutor. Postgraduate Deaneries will ensure that local advice will be available from individuals who have been provided with specific training for this role. College tutors within the hospital can provide advice on careers within their own specialty. In seeking careers advice the trainee should ensure that his or her Portfolio is up to date as it will form the basis of any discussion about future careers. Summary of Careers Advice discussion:

Section 1.2 Structured Meetings & Review Forms


Although the portfolio is based around the concept of trainee led learning, it is underpinned by a formal process that drives good practice in terms of review meetings and supervision, and ensures that the responsibilities of all involved have been clearly documented. It also ensures a record of progress that will provide continuity between placements and supervisors. The forms in this section of the portfolio must be completed and signed, they may not be changed or adapted and should be retained within the portfolio. The formal review process is based around a concept of a trainee having an educational supervisor who provides ongoing supervision for all training placements in either the DF1 or DF2 year. The clinical supervisor provides the supervision in a specific placement. The precise arrangements will vary dependant on your DFT programme, as a result, these roles may not always be distinct or they may change with each placement. For example, the educational and clinical supervisors may be the same person and may change with each placement. The important part is that whatever structure is in place for your Scheme and regardless of how many informal or ad hoc discussions take place with your supervisor, the formal review intervals set out in this section should take place and be carefully documented.

An explanation of the role of each of these meetings and some guidance as to how to approach them is set out below, followed by examples of each form.

25

Overview of meetings in each placement


Initial Meeting with the Educational Supervisor
The Educational Supervisor is the Consultant or Tutor who will have overall responsibility for supervising all the placements of the DFT Program. Trainees should aim to meet with their Educational Supervisor at the beginning of each placement to review their progress and update their Personal Development Plan. The first meeting with the educational supervisor will be the first occasion to review the opportunities presented by the trainees placements for developing the competencies in the Curriculum. A useful tool to help approach the meeting is the completion of the self-evaluation form which helps provide a view of where the trainee feels confident or uncertain in relation to the curriculum, which may help to indicate initial work may need to focus. The meeting should culminate in the agreement of a Personal Training Plan that sets out how the trainee will approach their learning in the next placement and the year ahead. It should be an exploration with the trainee of his/her progress in the General Professional Training Program so far, to determine what needs to be taught and learned in this post and how this will occur. It may be recorded in the Personal Development Plan documentation provided in the portfolio, or a development of it as agreed with the educational supervisor. Discussion should also touch on Career Management and Guidance, and should consider what a trainees initial needs may be, their possible career intentions and what they want to get out of the DFT Program to help them understand their future career choices. Both trainee and clinical/educational supervisor should complete and sign the Educational Agreement form provided.

The Placement Induction Meeting


This will be conducted by the Educational/Clinical Supervisor within 1 week of the trainee taking up their placement. Where the Educational & Clinical Supervisors are the same person it need not be a separate meeting. It will consist of a review of the trainees Personal Development Plan including the self-evaluation. It should focus on the opportunities that exist in the particular placement and how they will be tackled. Both trainee and trainer should complete and sign the Induction Meeting form provided.

The Mid-Point Review


This should be conducted by the Educational/Clinical Supervisor approximately halfway through the placement. It will briefly review progress to ensure that the trainee and the training is on course, that an appropriate number and range of competencies has been undertaken and that there has been adequate attendance at educational opportunities. Both trainee and trainer should sign the Mid Point Review form provided.

26

The Final Review of each post


This should be conducted by the Educational/Clinical Supervisor, at the end of each 4, 6 or 12 month post. This review should examine the assessments undertaken, the reflective practice recorded and compare it against the objectives set in the PDP at the beginning of the placement. Additionally you may want to revisit the self evaluation form to see how your estimation of competence has developed. Where necessary this review should highlight concerns that have emerged during the placement or where assessments have identified specific areas for development to achieve the standards set out in the curriculum. The review form should outline what additional work and assessment is required to address shortcomings in performance during the next placement, including additional assessments where necessary to substantiate an improvement in performance. If significant concerns have been highlighted in the final review form, the DFT Program Training Director should be informed. Both trainee and trainer should sign the Educational Agreement form provided

Detailed End of Placement report This report is designed to be used if progress has not been satisfactory, or particular areas of development need to be highlighted. It is important that both trainer and trainee work together agree the remedial action to be taken.
In the Detailed End of Placement Report assessors will be required to rate the trainees performance on a 9 point LIKERT scale. Scores 1,2 & 3 indicate levels of unsatisfactory performance. Scores 4,5 & 6 indicate levels of performance acceptable in the F1 year or the early stages of the SHO year Scores 7,8 & 9 indicate a superior level of performance to be expected by the end of the SHO year. In awarding such scores the assessor should evaluate the following aspects of the trainees performance:a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i.

A systematic approach to assessment and management. Recognition of priorities and response with appropriate urgency. Diagnosis and provisional diagnosis as a result of focussed history and examination and the subsequent progression of the case.

Section 2 Reflective Practice: Learning from Experience


Good reflective practice is a core part of any learning program. This statement is evidenced on the experience of many DFT Program trainees who have found that they benefit most of all from identifying their own needs, which they can discuss with their Educational Supervisor. Having identified them they can use further reflective learning to help define learning opportunities and think about how they can apply what they are learning in the work environment. All foundation trainees are encouraged to put time aside each day to reflect on the days learning opportunities and identify further needs. Consistently, the best previous trainees have taken a few minutes regularly during the day to record their reflections on their knowledge and experience, often with the help of other trainees or other healthcare staff. The templates set out below are intended to help you find a way to easily record those moments and make use of them in your ongoing learning. There is no requirement for any of your reflective practice material to be included in your evidence of competency, but if it is a practice that you find useful and feel demonstrates some key learning development, then it would be entirely appropriate for you to choose to include excerpts from your reflective practice. There are two templates set out in this section. The first is designed to think about your experience in the work place in a structured way, capturing the elements of that experience most pertinent to learning and development. The second is designed to help you think about your learning in taught sessions or courses and how you might apply it in your workplace, or how you might approach your work or behaviour different as a result of a course. Neither of the templates is meant to be prescriptive, the key thing is to find a method that works for you and that you can easily manage in the workplace. Be mindful of the confidential nature of what you may be recording, and who may have access to it if left unattended in a busy workplace environment. Most of all, however, ensure you make the most of this important learning opportunity.

Section 3: Assessment of Competence Presentation of Evidence


The basic principle of DFT scheme learning is that it is trainee led and evidence based. This means that each trainee will be able to collect the evidence they need to demonstrate to their supervisors and or assessment panel that they have achieved all the standards of competence set out in the DFT Syllabus Guide. There are a number of ways of presenting evidence, importantly there are the four DFT Program Assessment Tools, which should comprise the mainstay of your assessment in the workplace, but you may also want to consider submitting project work, course certificates, personal references, or excerpts from reflective practice. Most importantly, demonstration of assessment is against the competency framework set out in the Curriculum. The curriculum provides guidelines as to how many assessment forms should be completed. To help clarify how this should be used within your placements for demonstrating competences, an example of what evidence you may choose to present in the case of each competence has been set out below. Some individuals may need more assessments to satisfy their supervisors of competence in a specific area, for example a trainee struggling with safe prescribing may choose to submit additional DOPS forms to substantiate their improvement in performance and eventual achievement of competence. Doing more than the recommended guidelines is fine, doing less may well raise questions from your educational/clinical supervisor and may jeopardise your ability to present a sound case of competence at the end of your DFT Program. Each competence that needs to be assessed is listed down the left side and the recommended assessment tool(s) to help you prove that you have achieved that competence is listed down the right side. You can choose how you want to demonstrate that you have achieved a competence, so this list should only be used as a suggestion. For a full explanation of the competences listed below, refer to the curriculum.

1. Good clinical care Competence History taking, examination and record-keeping skills Conducts examinations of patients in a structured, purposeful manner and takes full account of the patients dignity and autonomy Understands and applies the principles of diagnosis and clinical reasoning that underlie clinical judgement and decision making Understands and applies principles of therapeutic and safe prescribing Understands and applies the principles of medical and dentaldata and information management: keeps contemporary accurate, legible, signed and attributable notes Demonstrates appropriate time management and decision making Understands and applies the basis of maintaining good quality care and ensuring and promoting patient safety Makes patient safety a priority in own clinical practice Understands the importance of good team working for patient safety Understands the principles of quality and safety improvement Understands the needs of patients who have been subject to medical or Assessment Tools Mini-CEX CbD Mini-CEX CbD CbD CbD

Core Competencies for the Dental DF2 (SHO equivalent) Programme


This section outlines core competences to be achieved during Dental SHO (F2 equivalent) Programme Training. The structure of this section is based on the seven principles described by the GMC in Good Medical Practice: Good clinical care Dentists must practise good standards of clinical care, practise within the limits of their ability, and make sure that patients are not put at unnecessary risk. Maintaining good medical practice Dentists must keep up to date with developments in their field and maintain their skills. Relationships with patients Dentists must be able to develop, encourage and maintain successful relationships with their patients. Working with colleagues Dentists must work effectively with colleagues in medicine, other health-care professions and allied health-care workers. Teaching and training Dentists have teaching responsibilities to colleagues, patients and their relatives. They must develop the skills, attitudes and practices of a competent teacher. Probity Dentists must be honest. Health Dentists must not allow their own health or condition to put patients, colleagues or the public at risk. Dentists must maintain their health.

48

Assessment tools
The Dental Foundation Program Curriculum sets out the requirement to use a series of assessment tools. There will be some variation as to exactly which tools will be used on your DFT or Foundation scheme, but copies of the forms for use on your scheme will be provided with your portfolio. A summary of the tools and how they are to be used is set out below:

A. Multi-Source Feedback (MSF) 1 for each 6 month post Mini-PAT: Peer Assessment Tool or TAB: Team Assessment of Behaviour

Collated views from a range of co-workers (previously described as 360 assessment).


1 peer assessment tool should be completed for each post. For each assessment, the trainee should nominate at least 4 raters and up to 12, 10 for TAB The majority of raters should be supervising consultants, GP/Community dentists, specialist registrars, SAS grade dentists and experienced nursing or allied health or dental care professional (AHP/DCP) colleagues.

B. Direct Observation of Dentist Patient Interactions


i. Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX) 3 in each 6 month post

Evaluation of an observed clinical encounter with developmental feedback provided immediately after the encounter
Between 4 and 6 observed encounters is suggested for each post/placement. MiniCEX is one form of observed clinical encounter Different observer for each mini-CEX, where possible Observers may be experienced SpRs, Staff Grades, Consultants or GP/Community dentists and should include the Educational Supervisor Each mini-CEX represents a different clinical problem sampling each of the clinical care categories listed within the Curriculum Trainee chooses timing, problem and observer.

ii. Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) 3 in each 6 month post

Structured check list for the assessment of practical procedures. DOPS is another dentist-patient observed encounter and could replace or parallel mini-CEX in some circumstances. 2 observed procedures suggested per placement in appropriate areas of work Different observer for each encounter, where possible Observers may be consultants, GP/Community dentists, SpRs, Staff Grade dentists, suitable nurses or allied health professionals Each DOPS should represent a different procedure sampling from the clinical care skills listed later in this section, or a procedure specific to the attachment Trainee chooses timing, procedure and observer.

C. Case Based Discussion (CBD) 2 for each 6 month post


Structured discussion of clinical cases managed by the trainee. Its particular strength is evaluation of clinical reasoning.
Comprises a structured discussion of real cases in which the trainee has been involved Allows trainees decision-making and reasoning to be explored in detail.

Appendix 2

Joint Dental Faculties of the Royal College of Surgeons of England


The new Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties, Royal College of Surgeons, England (MJDF) is an examination that is designed to assess your knowledge, skills and competencies at the end of General Professional Training. It is not in itself a formal entry requirement into specialty training or a general practice career. However, many applicants to specialty training will gain this exam and others wishing to develop their general practice career will see this exam as an important step in their career development. The exam is in two parts:Part 1 One three-hour assessment based on the Dental Foundation Training Curriculum assessing knowledge and applied knowledge. It will include different formats of multiple-choice questions and multiple short answer questions as well as best option and extended matching MCQs. Part 2 A three-hour assessment using Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Structured Clinical Reasoning* (SCR) formats. The exam will involve 21 stations, assessing clinical skills and competencies and SCR. The first 16 stations will take around two hours, the final 5 one hour. *Structured Clinical Reasoning is an assessment of the candidates ability to reason, evaluate, form opinion and apply the knowledge to current dental practice. It is not primarily an assessment of recall or knowledge - though these elements are required to undertake SCR. Scenarios will reflect real life and cross-domains. In addition, candidates will be required to submit a portfolio of evidence that will be assessed by the MJDF Examiners. This portfolio will be based on this Dental Foundation Training portfolio together with all relevant certificates and evidence set out in the Exam regulations. Portfolio of Evidence required for MJDF Section 1: Up to date Curriculum vitae Educational agreement Certificates of attainment i.e. CPR, Equal Opportunities training, etc. Learning and Professional Skills development record Recognition of prior experience log CPD log
