Integrating threshold concepts with reflective practice: Discussing a theory-based approach for curriculum refinement in dental education.

We propose a way of thinking about curriculum change by integrating threshold concepts with the explicit use and assessment of reflective practice tasks as a means to achieve threshold learning outcomes and professional attributes identified by accrediting bodies. We provide an overview of the literature in this area and an example of our approach in linking reflective practice with newly identified threshold concepts in our School. We welcome further discussion, debate and collaboration in this area.
