Portfolio-based learning and clinical assessment (PBLCA) offers a comprehensive evaluation method that encompasses students' clinical skills, knowledge, and professional development. PBLCA encourages self-reflection, critical thinking, and continuous improvement, fostering a lifelong learning mindset for professional growth. Furthermore, it enables personalized feed-back and guidance from faculty, promoting transparency and accountability in the assessment process. PBLCA contributes to the standardization and consistency of dental education, providing a clear framework for evaluating student competencies across various institutions and clinical settings. The aim of this workshop is to foster collaboration among academic institutions in integrating a standardized PBLCA into dental curricula, thereby elevating the calibre of dental education. Challenges such as resistance to change, time and resource constraints, training and faculty development will be discussed. This workshop will equip staff and students with the necessary skills for their professional endeavours, ultimately resulting in enhanced quality of the students, patients’ care and various favourable outcomes.
