Since leadership is vital in all professions and organizations, the purpose of this study was to determine where in dental schools leadership for predoctoral students is taught and to what degree it is emphasized in order to establish a baseline from which to generate recommendations for best practices. Academic deans of U.S. dental schools were surveyed to determine where in the curriculum leadership is taught and emphasized. The response rate was 39 percent returned completed surveys. These responses were representative of all geographic regions of the country, with equitable distribution between private and public institutions. The results showed that leadership training is delivered in many different parts of the curriculum and at various levels. Generally, the respondents indicated that leadership education is delivered in the setting of practice management, community out-reach, or public health. In some cases, specific training programs are dedicated to leadership development. Thus, several models for leadership development were identified, showing design flexibility in addressing regional and national needs. In the future, it would be of value to assess the effectiveness of the various models and whether single or multiple pathways for leadership training are most beneficial.
由于领导力在所有专业和组织中都至关重要，本研究旨在确定在牙科学院中教授和强调本科学生领导力的位置和程度，以便为最佳实践制定建议奠定基础。对美国牙科学院的学术院长进行了调查，以确定领导力在课程中的教授和强调位置。回复率为 39%，即返回的已完成调查。这些回复代表了全国各个地理区域，私立和公立机构之间的分布均衡。结果表明，领导力培训在课程的许多不同部分和不同层次进行。一般来说，受访者表示，领导力教育是在实践管理、社区外展或公共卫生的背景下进行的。在某些情况下，专门针对领导力发展制定了具体的培训计划。因此，确定了几种领导力发展模式，展示了在解决区域和国家需求方面的设计灵活性。未来，评估各种模式的有效性以及单一或多种领导力培训途径是否最有益处将是有价值的。
