    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Academic Medicine
    • Faculty Development

    Background:

    • Traditional tenure systems in dental schools require scholarly work, potentially hindering dental education.
    • Scholarly activity is crucial for university disciplines and should remain a requirement for full-time faculty.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of the traditional tenure system on dental education.
    • To propose modifications to the tenure system for dental faculty.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the current tenure system in dental schools.
    • Comparison of expectations for health science faculty versus traditional academic disciplines.

    Main Results:

    • The rigid adherence to traditional tenure may negatively affect dental education.
    • Existing tenure structures may not adequately accommodate the unique roles of dental faculty.

    Conclusions:

    • The tenure system in dental schools requires modification to acknowledge the specific nature of dental faculty roles.
    • Alternative pathways within the tenure system should be developed to support scholarly activities relevant to health sciences.
    • Enhancing dentistry's status within universities should be a concurrent goal.
