  • Title: Community-based dental education: history, current status, and future.
    Author: Formicola AJ, Bailit HL.
    Journal: J Dent Educ; 2012 Jan; 76(1):98-106. PubMed ID: 22262554.
    Abstract:
    This article examines the history, current status, and future direction of community-based dental education (CBDE). The key issues addressed include the reasons that dentistry developed a different clinical education model than the other health professions; how government programs, private medical foundations, and early adopter schools influenced the development of CBDE; the societal and financial factors that are leading more schools to increase the time that senior dental students spend in community programs; the impact of CBDE on school finances and faculty and student perceptions; and the reasons that CBDE is likely to become a core part of the clinical education of all dental graduates.
