One of the efforts made by the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya (FODUM), is to introduce Disability Equality Training (DET) as part of the learning activity in the SCD curriculum. This study aimed to explore students\u2019 perception about the DET program.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a qualitative research project exploring students\u2019 perception toward DET in 2 cohorts of third\u2010year dental students from FODUM (n\u00a0=\u00a0100). The reflection notes were analyzed using Luborsky's method of thematic analysis. Identification of themes was based on statements that were most frequently reported by students.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority of the students gave positive feedback for the training, which includes enhanced knowledge, attitudes, and skills about treating PWD. They also reflected that the DET improved their understanding of social and professional responsibility. In terms of learning experience, many reported that the training was useful and enjoyable. Students\u2019 suggestions for improvement included learning \"sign language\", visiting special needs centers, and providing simulation exercises involving real PWD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Students<jats:bold>\u2019<\/jats:bold> comments on the DET were positive and they enjoyed the learning experience. The findings support the continuation of DET as part of the undergraduate dental curriculum. Dental institutions seeking to implement or refine the SCD curriculum are encouraged to include DET based on its potential benefits for undergraduate students.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jdd.12528","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,21]],"date-time":"2021-01-21T20:01:25Z","timestamp":1611259285000},"page":"690-698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Dental students\u2019 perception on Disability Equality Training as part of the special care dentistry curriculum"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"85","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6360-4918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maryani","family":"Mohamed Rohani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Special Care Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry University of Malaya  Kuala Lumpur Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1282-6585","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nor Azlida","family":"Mohd Nor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Public Health, Department of Community Oral Health and Clinical Prevention Faculty of Dentistry University of Malaya  Kuala Lumpur Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"CallusA\u2010M Camilleri ZahraA \u2018Nothing about us without us\u2019: disabled people determining their human rights through the UNCRPD.
