Abstract:
The insufficient number of dental faculty teaching general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and public health dentistry increases the pressure on current faculty to increase their teaching responsibilities, competing with other opportunities of faculty development. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) strengthens the primary care workforce by supporting the academic career development of faculty. This issue describes the innovative work done by dental faculty supported by HRSA programs and demonstrates the importance of investing in long-term faculty career development.Knowledge Transfer Statement:The recommendations from this article can be used by dental training programs to develop a resilient and effective academic workforce and improve the teaching of general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and public health dentistry.
