Since 2002, community-based education at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry (COD) has evolved from non-existent to a robust program that is an essential component of the predoctoral program. As part of the college's curricular innovation, community-based education has demonstrated alignment of the COD's mission with that of our parent institution, contributed significantly to student learning and preparedness, and enhanced clinic experiences and revenue. Student interest and support have been and continue to be enthusiastic and valued. The faculty has been generally supportive, but properly focused on demonstrated student learning outcomes. This faculty observation and evaluation, supported by evidence, has resulted in the faculty's rethinking traditional teaching and learning strategies, allowing innovative educational changes.
自 2002 年以来，伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校牙科学院（COD）的社区教育经历了从无到有的发展，现已成为牙科学院本科生课程的重要组成部分。作为学院课程创新的一部分，社区教育展示了 COD 使命与母体机构使命的一致性，对学生的学习和准备情况产生了重大影响，并提升了诊所体验和收入。学生的兴趣和支持一直以来都是积极且有价值的。教师们普遍支持，但重点关注学生学习成果的证明。这种基于证据的教师观察和评估，促使教师重新思考传统的教学策略，从而实现创新性的教育变革。
