title: Survey of curriculum and instruction: oral medicine.
abstract: Oral  medicine programs in U.S. and Canadian dental schools generally concern the nonsurgical management of oral and surrounding tissues as related to the total health of the patients. A survey was conducted to determine the current status of program administration, curriculum, graduate programs, and continuing education in oral medicine. A wide variance in responses received indicated a general lack of consensus on the teaching of oral medicine.
