R. Mcgoldrick et C. Pine, A review of teaching of behavioural sciences in the United Kingdom dental undergraduate curriculum, BR DENT J, 186(11), 1999, pp. 576-580

al sciences. A study of sociological and psychological teaching in the dent
al undergraduate curriculum has shown a great deal of variation between the
14 dental schools in the United Kingdom. Most of this teaching was also th
eoretical and at a pre-clinical level. Should skills and applied psychology
be given an increased emphasis in the core clinical content of the undergr
aduate curriculum?
