title: Issues in dental curriculum development and change.
abstract: Lessons from other places present several diverse suggestions for the dental curriculum's continuing improvement. Models from other professional education venues (medical schools), conceptual frameworks for self-reflection (ethos), and the scientific bases for learning and teaching (cognitive psychology) demonstrate that an interplay of factors must be addressed to advance the curriculum.
