Episode notes
Why Dental Education Is Broken And How AI Will Fix It Dental education was not designed for the world clinicians are operating in today. Clinical complexity has increased. Digital workflows are now standard. Patient expectations are higher than ever. Yet the way dentists are trained has not evolved at the same pace. In this episode of The TechDental Podcast , host Dr Randeep Singh Gill sits down with Dr Vishal Sharma , Director of Clinical Education and Operations at Spear Education , to unpack why dentistry has a structural education problem — and how AI, hybrid learning, and competency-based systems are reshaping the future of clinical training. This is a deep, operator-level conversation for founders, executives, and clinical leaders thinking about scale, consistency, and risk.
