Henry Goldman and dental education: reflections on the early days at Boston University.

Dental education at Boston University began in 1958 as an outgrowth of Henry M. Goldman's desire to create a university-based center for advanced graduate training in the dental specialties. By 1963, the Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry was established. Henry Goldman (1911-1991), an unwavering visionary, is largely responsible for the solid foundation on which is built the successful present-day Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University.
