The planning and development of educational programmes for personnel in oral health / H. Allred and M. H. Hobdell

ABSTRACT

A problem-oriented manual for planners of oral health services and of educational programmes for oral health personnel. Emphasis is placed on the design of training programmes that respond to the real needs of the community and can be adapted as these needs change. Specific details range from the comparative advantages of modular versus vertical curricula, through the importance of interviews in the assessment of student applicants, to a tabulation of the advantages and disadvantages of oral examinations. As practical as it is detailed, the book will serve as an instructive how-to manual and checklist for those seeking to establish or modify a training programme in keeping with the real oral health needs of a nation or component population group in any part of the world
