Focusing on the years from 1965 to 2015, Transforming Dentistry highlights Western University's ambitious plans to create and situate a dental program within a health sciences complex; the practical challenges involved in implementing a curriculum and populating a new school; the influence of key dental faculty, community dentists, and students in shaping the program; and the school's near closure during the 1990s. David J. Kenny and Shelley McKellar detail how and why the training of dentists was transformed by science, technology, and individual educators. The book focuses on the unique aspects of Western's dental program and situates it in comparison with Canada's other nine dental programs. Today, the strong reputation of Western's dental school is a direct result of the ambitious visions, professional commitment, and steadfast leadership employed by London dentists and university educators over more than five decades."-- Provided by publisher Analysis Canada London Ontario Western University Western alumni dental education dentistry higher education history of dentistry history of medicine medical schools pioneers in dentistry university programs Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 26, 2022) Subject University of Western Ontario.
