Professional development.
The current program of continuing education is unnecessarily restricted by outdated conceptions of professionalism and learning; thus it fails to serve the needs of dentists today. A new model--professional development--is proposed, based on new ideas about what it means to be a professional and what professionals learn. The central role of practice is emphasized.
