title: The role of organizational infrastructure in promoting change: lessons from the American Dental Education Association.
abstract: Meeting the oral health needs of the Hispanic community can only be accomplished with the establishment of an effective infrastructure--one that will attract our "best and brightest" candidates and ensure their successful transition into the profession. The ADEA is proud of its leadership role in addressing the many issues that pertain to this infrastructure, and it is committed to collaborating at every level to help meet the oral health needs of the Hispanic population--and all underserved populations--in the United States.
