Modern undergraduate dental curricula strive to provide meaningful clinical experiences for their students. Outreach learning is now well established in most UK dental schools and provides an additional clinical environment in which the whole dental team can develop their skills. This paper evaluates student, patient and practitioner experiences of a general dental practice placement scheme. A number of practices in the Yorkshire region hosted senior undergraduate dental students. All parties were very positive about the experience. The students found the experience in general dental practice to be very different from that in outreach centres, with the experiences of working in well established teams being seen as very beneficial. Practitioners and their teams reported a number of unforeseen benefits and the patients found their experiences to be overwhelmingly positive. Some students reported positive perceptions of their clinical experience, when being interviewed for their vocational training and general professional training posts.
现代本科牙科课程努力为学生提供有意义的临床经验。拓展学习现在在大多数英国牙科学校已经很成熟，并提供了一个额外的临床环境，让整个牙科团队都可以发展他们的技能。本文评估了普通牙科实习计划中学生、患者和从业者的体验。约克郡地区的一些诊所接待了高年级的本科牙科学生。所有各方对这一经历都非常肯定。学生们发现普通牙科实践中的经验与拓展中心的经验非常不同，他们认为在成熟的团队中工作的经验非常有益。从业者及其团队报告了一些意料之外的好处，患者发现他们的体验非常积极。一些学生在接受职业培训和一般专业培训职位的面试时，对他们的临床经验有积极的看法。
