Abstract: As recent dental graduates begin to influence professional thinking, the ideas of “scoping up” and “scoping down” are likely to redefine the dentist’s traditional role in the provision of health care. In either context, it will be essential for dental education to provide broader instruction in critical-thinking skills and assessment of evidence to address scientific uncertainty. 2015-02-01T00:00:00Z Guest Editorial: Doing the right thing in the Face of Scientific Uncertainty http://hdl.handle.net/2451/75887 Title: Guest Editorial: Doing the right thing in the Face of Scientific Uncertainty Authors: Vernillo, Anthony T. Abstract: How might dentistry make further progress in extending preventive benefits to underserved populations, especially in cases of scientific uncertainty? To address that question, a senior dental student at the New York University College of Dentistry, and faculty mentors focus on dental education and scientific uncertainty, and use the link between human papillomavirus (HPV) and oropharyngeal cancer as a case in point in this issue of the Journal of the Academy of Distinguished Educators (JADE). 2015-02-01T00:00:00Z Preparing Future Clinician-Scientists For the Dental Profession http://hdl.handle.net/2451/75889 Title: Preparing Future Clinician-Scientists For the Dental Profession Authors: Lee, Janice Abstract: Staying current with the biomedical literature and critically examining the evidence for treatment are skills learned in dental school, honed in practice, applied in the day-to-day encounters with patients who seek care, and will ultimatel lead to the improvement of the health of the American population. 2015-02-01T00:00:00Z Lessons from the Ebola Crisis http://hdl.handle.net/2451/75890 Title: Lessons from the Ebola Crisis Authors: Caplan, Arthur l. Abstract: In his article, Arthur Caplan asks, what would an “ethics autopsy” reveal about what lessons ought be learned from the world’s and the United States’ response to this disease? Here are my top eight. He recommends that science should not go out the window, but the ethics of testing and regulating need to bend a bit in the context of a lethal epidemic. 2015-02-01T00:00:00Z
