Background: This study aimed to qualitatively evaluate knowledge transfer challenges from pre-clinic to dental clinics in the endodontics department among Ardabil University of Medical Sciences dental students.
Methods: A semi-structured interview was used to collect data, and six dental students were interviewed. The data were analyzed based on the method suggested by Lundman and Graneheim. Validity, verifiability, and reliability criteria were used according to Linclon and Gouba to ensure the reliability of the data. A questionnaire was prepared after coding the factors and distributed to all 30 dental students studying in Ardabil Dental Faculty with the inclusion criteria. The identified factors were prioritized, and finally, the first six priorities were reported based on the ranking to present the results.
Results: The essential challenges of realizing clinical training in the endodontics department were support problems (laboratory, lack of turbine, failure of units), lack of patients, student stress, weak clinical skills, and poor study.
Conclusion: Based on the results, dental students of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences face many challenges in transferring knowledge from pre-clinic to the clinic, which can be reduced with careful planning.
