An ad hoc Committee on Sabbaticals created by the Council of Faculties of the AADS surveyed sabbatical policies and their implementation at dental schools in the United States. Data from a questionnaire completed by 56 of 60 members of the Council of Faculties reveal that a majority of U.S. dental schools have sabbatical policies but that dental educators are less likely to apply for or to be awarded sabbaticals than educators from other parts of the university, except perhaps the medical school. Information was also obtained on the regulations governing sabbaticals--interval between leaves, rates of remuneration, and rules defining how the leave may be spent. Finally, suggestions are made as to how this important benefit of academic life might be made more available to dental educators.
美国牙科教育协会教员理事会设立的一个关于休假的特别委员会，对美国牙科学校的休假政策及其实施情况进行了调查。教员理事会60名成员中有56名填写了调查问卷，数据显示，美国大多数牙科学校都有休假政策，但与大学其他部门（医学院可能除外）的教育工作者相比，牙科教育工作者申请休假或获得休假奖励的可能性较小。还获取了有关休假规定的信息——休假间隔、薪酬率以及规定休假用途的规则。最后，针对如何让牙科教育工作者更有可能享受学术生活这一重要福利提出了建议。
