title: Proposal 3: Is a coordinated and effective approach to work force planning, education, and research possible? Part II: The interdependence of research, education and the oral health work force.
abstract: Undoubtedly, to achieve the goals set for oral health in New Zealand, representative leadership is essential for effective coordination of work force planning, education, and research. It is to be hoped that, from discussion and debate, this Forum will be able to make suggestions or recommendations for a structure that can be developed to allow the appropriate representation and leadership to drive research and work force planning for the provision of oral health care in New Zealand.
