The objective of this study is to assess the opinion of dental students regarding the necessity for a practice management (PM) course in their curriculum. To determine the necessity of a PM course in dental programs, a series of questions was developed and given to 100 dental students. Dental students were asked a series of questions about the necessity of this course, and responses were gathered. The questionnaire included time management, patient management, teamwork, leadership quality, and other requirements of the course. According to the results, dentistry students desired that the PM curriculum cover subjects such as teamwork, confidence, the value of the PM course, time management, patient management abilities, leadership qualities, and others. Most of the responses obtained from the students agreed that the PM curriculum must be taught with the course for better management. The development of any course should be based on the need and opinion of the students who pursue the course of dentistry. Thus, this study evaluates the need for a PM course in an undergraduate (UG) dental program.
