T

HIS year the Committee has continued under Dr. Tarpley’s chairmanship.

AMERICAN 1958

the p1a.n established

la.st year

1. A survey was made in conjunction with the Council on Dental Education of the graduate and postgraduate (long-term) orthodontic training programs in this country. The results of that survey are attached (Tables I to VIII). 2. This year a similar survey of undergraduate orthodontic programs was made. The results of that survey are attached to this report. 3. It is proposed that this committee shall undertake next year to determine all the short courses in orthodontics offered to the profession. Such a list, giving sponsor, time, location, content, eligibility, and tuition, would be of use both to this Association and to the Council on Dental Education. 4. The meeting at New Orleans last year made evident to this Committee the intensity of feelings which individual members of the Association hold TABLE I.

with regard to education for orthodontic practice. It was felt that the Education Committee could take a leading role in studying this problem so that all the facts pertaining to the training of specialists in orthodontics might be better understood by members of the association. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation Institute of the University of Michigan is sponsoring a Workshop in Orthodontics to be held June 15 to 21, 1958. Several of the study groups of that workshop pertain directly to the task of this Committee. An outline of the workshop is attached to this report (Table IX). The Education Committee has served in an advisory way to see that Study Group I (Educating the Undergraduate in Orthodontics) and Study Group II (Education for Xpecialization in Orthodontics) were planned to best serve this Association. For example, Study Group II will spend the week studying current graduate, long-term postgraduate, and preceptorship programs. Members of the Association will take leading roles in these discussions. For example, Stephen Hopkins will read a paper entitled “The Goals TABLE

“The

General Practitioner and Orthodontics” (Kenneth Easlick, moderator) The aim of the study group on orthodontic education of the dental practitioner is to determine the means of communication between the orthodontist and the praeticing dentist. The areas which would seem necessary to investigate are (1) literature, (2) dental society meetings, (3) television or telephone programs, (4) short courses, either university or individual, and (5) study clubs.

“Research” (Wendell Wylie, moderator) The reesarch-evaluating study group has as its aim the collation of current It would appear that some of the research and future trends in orthodontic records. problems which need investigation are (1) a classification of facial morphology, (2) the prediction of growth patterns., (3) orthodontic materials, (4) histologic studies of tooth movement, (5) research into clinical procedures, (6) the physiology of the oral cavity, and (7) the inheritance of malocclusion. This study group may discuss also the training of personnel for research and methods of financing orthodontic researcn. (Continued on neet pagel

Study Group V should study such problems as (I) the epidemiology of malocclusion, (2) use of auxiliary personnel to increase number of patients, (3) value of interception and early treatment necesqary, (4) methods of stimulating other dentists to carry out their prophylactic orthodontic responsibilities, (5) t’ lme analyses of various methods of treatment, (6) the allor-none attitude toward treatment, (7) social and public health orthodontics, (8) the geographic distribution of orthodontists, and (9) the demand for orthodontic s’ervices versus the epidemiology of malocclusion. “Relationship of Orthodontics to Other Health Services” (Maynard Hine, moderator) Because there is a flow of patients and responsibilities among all fields of health service, this study group should examine in detail the role of orthodontics in such problems as (1) cleft palate rehabilitation, (2) orthodontic-pedodontic relations, (3) orthodontic-oral surgery relations, (4) orthodontic-medical relations, (5) orthodonticperiodontic relations, (6) orthodontic-general practitioner relations, and (7) t,he ortho. dentist as a member of an institutional staff. “Practice

Management” (C. Edward Martinek, moderator) The objective of the study group is to consider practice management that will be beneficial to the orthodontist, his profession, his patients, and the public. This group will endeavor to delineate some of the basic problems relative to developing a new practice in orthodontics and to proper management of an existing enc.

of Preceptorship in Orthodontics,” and T. M. Graber will read a paper entitled “The Goals of Graduate Education in Orthodontics.” This study group will attempt to outline an ideal graduate program and a model preceptorship program. Invitations have been extended to all the schools and to the admissions committee members of each component society, since they are most interested in this matter. The Education Committee feels that careful study of all aspects of the problem by members of the Association is likely to be more fruitful than further .such unfortunate experiences as last year. 5. The Education Committee has selected the leaders for Study Groups 1 and II to ensure that the several viewpoints are well represented.
