The most important people to consider for the implementation of a curriculum as per Kern
What are learners?
This issue is seen with increased class sizes.
What is overcrowding and lack of physical space in the simulation lab?
A lack of this will mean that your proposed curriculum change will not work.
What is funding?
The number of teeth that adults typically have
What is 32?
This group will have multiple time constraints including balancing clinical, professional and teaching duties
What are faculty members?
This scheduling solution addresses limited space by ensuring different groups use the simulation equipment at separate times.
What is time-sharing or scheduling rotation?
Funding is limited in your university. Name two ways to secure external funding.
What are student or faculty led charity events and private donations?
The branch of dentistry concerned with diseases and injuries of the soft tissues inside a tooth (the dental pulp).
What is endodontics?

What are simulation centre staff?
What solution maximizes the use of available space by allowing simulation setups to serve multiple functions?

This cost-related barrier can be ongoing as simulation-based equipment is used.
What is the cost of maintaining and upgrading simulation technology?
The number of bristles on the average toothbrush
What is 2000?
This strategy involves pairing more advanced students with beginners to enhance learning and reduce the burden on faculty
What is peer-assisted learning or peer mentoring?
What technological solution reduces the need for physical space by providing virtual simulations?
What is Virtual Reality (VR)?
Bonus: what are some barriers to its implementation?
This strategy provides faculty with ongoing support and development in using simulation technologies for teaching but it comes with a price...
What is professional development programs for faculty?
Number of yards of dental floss the average person buys a year
What is 120?
What is ...?
Your colleague from the orthodontics course (given at the same time as endodontics in year 2) needs the simulation lab and has convinced the Dean that orthodontics is more important. Therefore, more simulation time was allocated to orthodontics. How do you approach this?
What is...?
The university has no money to help you. VR sets are expensive, simulation tools are expensive and you are poor. What do you suggest to do?
