Orthodontic specialty training historically relied on preceptorships. The American Association of Orthodontists revived this model in the 1960s, successfully training over 200 specialists.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Orthodontics
  • Medical History

Background:

  • Historically, preceptorship was the primary method for dental education.
  • University-based dental schools later became standard.
  • Preceptorships continued to be accepted for specialty training.

Observation:

  • The American Association of Orthodontists reintroduced preceptorships in the 1960s to address a rising need for orthodontic specialists.
  • This program, lasting a decade, trained over 200 individuals in orthodontics.

Findings:

  • Many graduates of the preceptorship program established practices in proximity to or in collaboration with their mentors.
  • The historical revival of preceptorships proved effective in increasing the number of orthodontic specialists.
