The case for change in dental education.
نویسنده
چکیده
The 1926 Gies Report on Dental Education was the first of many calls for major reform in dental education over the past 80 years. Significant changes in the way dentists were educated were implemented after the Gies Report, including the closure of proprietary dental schools and general acceptance of a three-to-four-year course of study leading to the dental degree with a sound foundation in basic and clinical sciences. In many ways, little has changed since then. This presentation explores possible reasons for why this is true and evaluates opportunities for the future.
