The biggest problem we have in dentistry is that, unlike medicine, we don't have a public system of care delivery. All the care is provided privately. The only place we could send a resident is to a dental school.
As we were told, the deans seem to respond to cold hard cash. We haven't been able to get ongoing funding in order to set up this type of program. We are definitely lacking in opportunities to train certain categories of dentists when they come here. We even have the same problems for dentists who are practising in Canada and require remedial education because they ran afoul of the regulator in their province.
