Abstract

With coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) leading to ubiquitous changes across the education system, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine took advantage of their new, fast-changing environment to foster engagement among faculty members regarding curricular modifications and their impact on assessment outcomes. A virtual curricular retreat was planned, where adaptations could be discussed through the lens of Miller's Pyramid. The retreat provided an opportunity for faculty to participate in a guided dialogue via a “think-pair-share” activity that resulted in documenting the outcomes of recent curriculum changes while allowing for reflection for future improvement.
