Abstract:
In 1975 the faculty of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, in conjunction with the College of Education and the affiliated Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center, developed a 36-month formal teacher education program in combination with joint specialty training in pedodontics and orthodontics. The program goal was to produce a professional dental educator/administrator who could function primarily in the teaching and practice of child and adolescent comprehensive care. After four years and three graduates, the faculty terminated this program. This paper outlines the rationale and structure of the original program and discusses the reasons for its termination.
