Data were collected via a paper-based questionnaire adapted from IFMSA Social Accountability Toolkit Questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to all students and interns during the study period, with a total of 1805 dental students and interns.
A paper-based survey was conducted to assess the social accountability of the students; students from all educational years were invited to participate voluntarily. The participating students were asked to read the questions in the table (Appendix 1) carefully and rate the school's performance from 0 to 3 for each area. Then the total score was calculated by adding the scores of each question to a total and seeing where our faculty stands. Additional information on each of the questions and accompanying indicators were provided in the second column to guide students during scoring.
