Dental faculties: future shock.
Canadian faculties of dentistry are in an untenable position. The university imposes expectations of research and publications; the profession and the public expect that competent clinicians will be educated. Senior administrators continue to attempt the impossible with diminishing resources and inadequate funding. Until this apparent conflict is resolved, it is unlikely that either of these major responsibilities can or will be effectively fulfilled.
