RESUMEN
Professionals will increasingly be confronted with new insights and changes. This raises questions as to what kind of expertise professionals need, and how development of this expertise can be influenced within the contexts of both education and work. The terms adaptive expertise and adaptive performance are well-known concepts in the domains of education and Human Resource Development respectively. The literature, however, lacks a conceptual overview. Our research seeks to provide an overview on how adaptive expertise and adaptive performance are conceptualized. In addition we looked for what individual, task and organizational characteristics relate to adaptive expertise. We mined information drawn from existing reviews in an overview of reviews. Nine reviews met the inclusion criteria. Adaptive performance is best referred to as the visible expression of an adaptive expert and this is triggered by 'change'. The scope of this 'change' lies somewhere between change that is 'new for the learner' and change that is 'new for everyone in the whole world'. The extent to and way in which a learner or professional is able to deal with this change depends on the maturity of the learner or professional. We found numerous individual, task and environmental characteristics related to adaptive expertise and adaptive performance. The nature and relation of these characteristics, and their specificity in relation to adaptive expertise and adaptive performance are visualized in a figure, but also provide several suggestions for future research.

INTRODUCTION: Changes in society, new public demands for dental care and contemporary educational insights have influenced dental education worldwide and demand a renewed perspective. Following this perspective, an innovative interprofessional dental Master curriculum was developed at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES: The curriculum is based on five contemporary educational principles and the core of the curriculum consists of a Student Run Dental Clinic that is fully run by students under professional supervision. THE NEW CURRICULUM: In the Student Run Dental Clinic, Master dental students and Bachelor oral hygiene students are responsible for the care of approximately 750 patients. The students work within the same clinic for 3 years and patients receive oral health care from the same students over a long period. The clinic is a longitudinal cross-disciplinary clinic with different dental subdisciplines. Entrustable professional activities (also known as EPAs), to our knowledge not yet widely used in dental education, were introduced to facilitate learning and assessment. Fourteen EPAs have been developed to stimulate interprofessional education and learning. Of these, five EPAs are identical for the dental and oral hygiene curriculum, leading to extended interprofessional education and learning in the Student Run Dental Clinic. DISCUSSION: Preliminary results show that EPAs are generally well received by supervisors and students. CONCLUSION: To monitor and investigate the exact effect of the interventions and underlying mechanisms, a research programme on interprofessional learning, practice-based learning and EPAs and entrustment in dental education was recently set up.
