The next generation of dental professionals will require an improved understanding of the interplay between oral health and general health. An aging population, a greater proportion of medically complex patients and an evolving health care delivery system all call for changes in the ways dentists are trained. A concerted effort to broaden primary health-care activities in the dental office will greatly improve both oral and general health outcomes. It is proposed that expansion of biomedical training in the predoctoral curriculum, mandated PGY-1 postgraduate training and improved continuing education courses would provide the basis for achieving these goals. |
