  • Title: A new format for dental education.
    Author: Formicola AJ.
    Journal: J Am Coll Dent; 2002; 69(3):32-8. PubMed ID: 12407994.
    Abstract:
    Three trends that have been with dental education for a number of years are identified: a crowded curriculum, promising growth in the biological understudying of oral conditions, and disparities in access to oral health care among Americans. To address these influences, a restructuring of dental education in the U. S. is proposed. Among the changes called for are bringing biomedical science education in the first two years of dental school to parity with medical school education, increasing the time and quality of extramural clinical education, and adding a mandatory year of postdoctoral education.
