Effects of Demographic Factors on the Multiple Intelligences of preclinical Dental Students at SEGi University Malaysia

Over the years, there has been an increased emphasis on the learner-centred, outcome-based, as well as patientcentred approach in dental education. These changes require dental students to acquire many hard and soft skills in order to fulfill their role as a health care professional. The Theory of M...
