T oday, it is more common than ever before for den- tists to go back to school for advanced degrees. Why? Until the 1990s, most doc- tors were content to have only one advanced degree and never step foot in a school again. So why are so many individuals going back to school for advanced degrees, and is advanced education really worth the effort? Many doctors viewed the idea of con- tinued learning more as a need, rather than a desire, to become more educated as clinicians, educators and/or leaders. This obviously has become a reality. Then with the coming of state-required mandatory C.E. credits for licensure, In- ternet courses began springing up, and schools and private institutions viewed this as a new way of increasing revenue. In 2002, 22 dental schools offered dual-degree programs. Dental schools in the United States and Canada were not encouraging potential dental scien- tists to follow career paths that dental education desperately needed; some dental students view dentistry only as For dentists, the era of advanced degrees: Part I a technical discipline, while others who are interested in teaching and research careers might pursue research degrees (PhD). Today in 2016, almost all postgradu- ate orthodontic programs range from two to four years in duration; some of- fer certificates in orthodontics, and oth- ers confer MS and/or PhD degrees. With the progressive emphasis on evidence- based dentistry and the ongoing short- age of dental faculty, dental schools be- came instrumental in training future dental faculty. Some dental schools offer clinical and graduate training concomitantly, but there are far more institutions where research training is not a priority or an easily accessible option. A concept of “dental scientist” has been described for individuals who have completed funda- mental dentistry as well as rigorous for- mal research education leading to the PhD degree. Adult education popularity has defi- nitely become a reality. The need for con- tinuing education with regard to adults in general, but especially working pro- fessional adults, is going to become even more pervasive in the future; it is more than just an intellectual exercise. With the demand for education for adults, it is important for adminis- trators to know how to plan for, market and accommodate this student popula- tion. A key challenge for program planners will be to match organizational goals, delivery methods and institutional poli- cies with the actual educational needs of adult students. Thus, alea iacta est, the die has been cast for dentists to earn multiple gradu- ate degrees but how, when and why? Editor’s Note: Look for Part II in the next issue of Ortho Tribune! By Dennis J.
