    DescriptionRole models shape how dental students see the profession, their own potential and even their well-being. In a recent British Dental Journal special feature titled “The impact of role modelling in dental education”, Dr Casper Jonker, clinical lecturer in dental education at the University of Plymouth’s Peninsula Dental School in England, reflects on how educators can inspire and support the next generation of dentists. In this interview with Dental Tribune International, Dr Jonker expands on the themes of the article and explains how effective role modelling can transform learning experiences in the clinic and beyond.
