Covering the education, research, and patient care missions of dental schools, this book offers recommendations on oral health assessment, access to dental care, dental school curricula, examinations and licensing, workforce planning, and other key areas. It is of interest to deans, faculty, administrators, and students at dental schools.
Six dental schools have closed in the last decade and others are in jeopardy. Facing this uncertainty about the status of dental education and the continued tension between educators and practitioners, leaders in the profession have recognized the need for purpose and direction.
This comprehensive volume—the first to cover the education, research, and patient care missions of dental schools—offers specific recommendations on oral health assessment, access to dental care, dental school curricula, financing for education, research priorities, examinations and licensing, workforce planning, and other key areas.
Well organized and accessible, the book:
Recaps the evolution of dental practice and education.
Reviews key indicators of oral health status, outlines oral health goals, and discusses implications for education.
Addresses major curriculum concerns.
Examines health services that dental schools provide to patients and communities.
Looks at faculty and student involvement in research.
Explores the relationship of dental education to the university, the dental profession, and society at large.
Accreditation, the dental workforce, and other critical policy issues are highlighted as well.
Of greatest interest to deans, faculty, administrators, and students at dental schools, as well as to academic health centers and universities, this book also will be informative for health policymakers, dental professionals, and dental researchers.
