title: Dental education--25 years on: a personal view.
abstract: Change in dental practice has been complemented by perhaps even more profound change in dental education at all levels. Not only has the structure been transformed but the underlying philosophy has shifted to an emphasis on lifelong learning as the only strategy for professional survival in the world of exponential knowledge growth and shifting values.
