This chapter provides an overview for readers that incorporates considerations for the teaching of oral epidemiology at different educational levels. The chapter begins by placing the teaching of oral epidemiology within the wider pre-doctoral curriculum, and it acknowledges some of the challenges that may be encountered by students and teachers working at this level. In developing curricula, it is vital that teachers carefully consider the requirements of dental professional bodies, boards or councils to ensure that courses adhere to the educational expectations of the relevant local or national regulators. This chapter acknowledges these external factors and briefly explores the key course documents, learning objectives and other resources that may help guide students in their studies. Some of the teaching methods available are explored along with a number of their associated advantages and disadvantages. At various points within the chapter, there are a number of short ‘Tip’ boxes which describe or suggest ideas for teachers in delivering the curriculum. Selected methods for the assessment of students’ knowledge and skills are outlined, alongside considerations from the perspectives of students and teachers. Finally, the chapter ends with a brief description of different quality assurance methods which may be internal to the education provider or external through the involvement of visiting examiners and regulatory bodies.
