Microbiology teaching in American dental schools.

Abstract:

:A comprehensive questionnaire on current practices relevant to teaching microbiology to dental students was sent to all dental schools in the United States. The survey collected information on resources available, modes of teaching, and evaluation processes. Seventy percent (42/60) of the schools responded. Great variation was found in the teaching of microbiology largely due to the variety of educational resources, perspective of subject matter by the faculty, and the backgrounds of entering students. Data are presented that document the integration of microbiology with other courses, placement of microbiology in the curriculum, class attendance policies, availability of advanced selective and/or elective courses, and National Board reviews. These and other data indicate some prevailing trends in the teaching of microbiology to dental students.
