Surgical Education in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: An Evolving Paradigm
Undergraduate and graduate medical and dental education has undergone a transformation since its dawn in the early twentieth century, transitioning from a proprietary apprenticeship model toward a more robust framework based on basic science, research, and hands-on patient care in academic health center arenas. This traditional Halsteadian model laid the foundation for a formal approach to education that forms the algorithms that educators now follow with an emphasis on evidence-based best practices in patient care.

Dedication
We dedicate this issue of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America to the memory of Dr Daniel Laskin. Dr Laskin was internationally renowned in the specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He was the consummate educator, who taught those around him to be dedicated to our profession and to the patients for whom we care. Dr Laskin believed that each of us should be committed to serving as a mentor to those we teach while being committed to lifelong learning within our specialty.

Faculty Development for the Twenty-First Century
Faculty development is a poorly understood and incompletely executed initiative in undergraduate and graduate medical and dental education programs. Despite significant change in the delivery of health care over the past several decades, the education of students and residents has followed a legacy path of business as usual. Some faculty have incorrectly assumed that content expertise transfers to teaching expertise. The insistence for robust faculty development programs on the part of accrediting and other professional organizations has created a call to action, but much work has yet to be done. It is therefore essential ...

Changing Dynamics of Accreditation in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The Commission on Dental Accreditation is responsible for accrediting postgraduate dental education programs, including residencies and fellowships using a well-delineated process that includes an annual survey of various aspects of the program related to the Standards for Advanced Dental Education Programs in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and a program self-study and site visit with a review by the Specialty Education Review Committee of the Commission and the Commission on a 5-year cycle. The primary goal of the accreditation process is to assure the public, the profession, and the institution that the program is in com...

Understanding Health Policy and Its Importance in Residency Education for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Health policy shapes the delivery of surgical care and the reimbursement of oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs). Understanding broad principles of health policy will better allow surgeons to develop policies that will ultimately affect surgical practice. The growing presence of corporate and private equity investments in OMS practice management as well as expanding interests in value-based reimbursement models has innumerable implications for OMSs and patients. A standardized health policy curriculum for educating OMS trainees in key health policy principles may encourage OMSs to actively participate in health care advo...

The Role of Research Experiences in the Training of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
The importance of active adult learning methods and critical thinking skills is appreciated in dental and OMFS residency training. Known barriers to research are finding time in the curriculum and funding needed for research experiences. These barriers have inspired many institutions to design programs to provide research opportunities, but they can be expensive and of minimal interest to those not planning academic careers. During OMFS residency training, the primary emphasis is on mastery of all aspects of surgical care. Strong partnerships between PhD researchers and OMFS clinical investigators, formed to advance the fi...

Artificial Intelligence in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Education
Artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous with modern technology. Digital transformations are occurring in every field including medicine, surgery, and education. Computers and computer programs are getting sophisticated to form neural networks globally. These algorithms allow for sophisticated and complex pattern recognitions and make accurate predictions. This allows for both accurate diagnosis and prognostication in medicine and opens opportunities for medical and surgical education. Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons and OMS education like all of the surgery are adapting well to the world of AI, incorporating machine ...

Mentoring, Coaching and Role-Modeling in Surgical Education
This article defines and discusses the similarities and differences between these roles. It goes on to focus on how surgical residents can best be served by mentors, coaches, role models, and teachers in their journey to becoming practicing surgeons. Guidance on how to best serve in one of these roles is provided along with guidance on how a surgical resident can take advantage of this excellent form of career development.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Training in the United States
Here, we trace the history of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) education from the mid-19th century to the present. We consider the effects of separation of dentistry and medicine, discovery of anesthesia, antisepsis, antibiotics, and wars on surgical progress and training. In the 19th century, apprenticeships with well-known surgeons were the norm. In the 20th century, training evolved from nonintegrated dental school and hospital experiences to 3- and then 4-year integrated hospital programs. After World War II individual oral surgeons pursued the MD degree after residency. The formal dual degree OMS paradigm began in...

Predoctoral Dental Education
This article highlights the needs in dental education for more general medicine and scientific information. The author suggests that oral and maxillofacial surgeons could have an important role to play in this education beyond surgical procedures. The Educational Committee of AAOMS has made this point prepandemic, and it is more important now. As the patient population ages, this role assumes greater importance. Patients now have more chronic diseases and take more medicines, and the repertoire and scope of practice for dentists should be improved to care for the general health of patients. Our specialty should play a lead...

Development of Competencies in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Training
The goal of graduate surgical education is to ensure that the graduate is competent to practice in his or her chosen specialty. Traditionally, surgical learning has been based on an apprenticeship model; that is, the long-term observation and assessment of the trainee over a prolonged period of time. Patient expectations, work hour restrictions, and expectations of increased faculty oversight have led to decreased resident autonomy and independence. Graduates completing surgical training with less surgical autonomy may have lower clinical competence, which may affect patient safety, patient outcomes, and career satisfactio...
