A comprehensive document containing 32 professionalism competences, divided into 3 sub-domains, was developed based on the competence documents of local and foreign accrediting bodies.

SPSS 21 was used for data analysis., Results: Of the 386 participants, 152(39.4%) were from public-sector colleges and 234(60.6%) from private ones. The overall mean age was 23.69±1.06 years. Of the 32 competences, the participants marked 18(56.25%) as 'essential' and 15(46.9%) as 'good to have'. In the latter category, 3(20%) competences were from the domain of professional attitude and behaviour, 7(46.6%) from ethics and jurisprudence and 4(26.7%) from the domain of communication and interpersonal skills., Conclusions: Pakistani dental graduates had an overall positive attitude regarding professionalism competences.
