Dental Foundation Training 1 article

Dental Foundation Training is a structured period of supervised practice that supports newly qualified dentists as they move from undergraduate education into independent clinical work. Training commonly combines workplace experience, educational supervision, feedback, portfolio evidence and formal assessment of developing competence in general dental practice. Its purpose is professional transition and consolidation of clinical judgement rather than specialist qualification. The term refers to a defined early-career training pathway, not to continuing professional development undertaken later in practice.
