The shape of professional development in dentistry can better be guessed from imagining the emerging needs of practitioners than from the technology of education. Four predictions are offered: professional development is likely to involve a greater blend of learning and doing, customized to individual dentists, emphasizing value added rather than evaluation of dentists, and to be distributed in the sense that dentists will take their learning in smaller doses and at their own convenience.
相较于从教育技术来推测，从想象从业者的新需求来猜测牙科专业发展的形态会更靠谱。这里有四个预测：专业发展可能会涉及更多学习与实践的融合，针对个体牙医进行定制，强调附加值而非对牙医的评估，并且从某种意义上说，其分布形式是牙医会以较小的量、在自己方便的时候进行学习。
