Abstract
As the United States (U.S.) population continues to age, we need to promote a renewed perspective on oral health, helping policy makers understand the impact of poor oral health on older adults with chronic conditions. In this article we describe the issue of lack of oral health education in medical school curricula, the differences in dental school programs, and a brief history of Oral maxillofacial surgery DMD/MD programs in the U.S. In addition to an education focusing on technical skills, dental education should also address scientific, social, and health-related competencies. Not only should the lack of integration of oral health topics in medical curricula be addressed, we should also train future dental professionals on the systemic effects of oral conditions.
期刊介绍：
Teaching and Learning in Medicine ( TLM) is an international, forum for scholarship on teaching and learning in the health professions. Its international scope reflects the common challenge faced by all medical educators: fostering the development of capable, well-rounded, and continuous learners prepared to practice in a complex, high-stakes, and ever-changing clinical environment. TLM''s contributors and readership comprise behavioral scientists and health care practitioners, signaling the value of integrating diverse perspectives into a comprehensive understanding of learning and performance. The journal seeks to provide the theoretical foundations and practical analysis needed for effective educational decision making in such areas as admissions, instructional design and delivery, performance assessment, remediation, technology-assisted instruction, diversity management, and faculty development, among others. TLM''s scope includes all levels of medical education, from premedical to postgraduate and continuing medical education, with articles published in the following categories:
