Description
Suwayda Ahmed and co-authors map how well a South African dental course teaches antimicrobial resistance and stewardship. Resistance to antibiotics is a global health crisis, and gaps in what dental students learn have been widely reported. The team checks one school's undergraduate program against core skills set by national and world bodies.
In their 2025 study, course outcomes across the program were matched to the skill lists of the Health Professions Council of South Africa and the World Health Organization. The expected skills on resistance and stewardship showed up in only two third-year and two fourth-year courses. The mapping exercise lays bare how thin the coverage is and where teaching should grow.
