The
future of dental
education will be shaped, in part, by scientific, technological, political,
and economic factors that are largely beyond the profession's control.
Nonetheless, dental
educators—individually and collectively have important choices to make.
They may attempt to preserve the status quo in effect, a path toward stagnation
and eventual decline. Alternatively, they can choose a more difficult path of
reassessing and renewing their missions of education, research, and patient
care so that they contribute more and more visibly to the university and the
community. Taking this latter path will require more vigor in implementing
long-standing recommendations for educational reform as well as attention to
new issues and objectives. For dental educators to pursue change successfully,
they will need the active cooperation of the larger dental
community as well as support from university officials and state and
national policymakers.
