Curricular changes in North America are at present being stimulated by changing disease patterns, changes in the needs of the patients attending dental schools, the desire to broaden educational experience without overloading the curriculum and overstressing the students. Curricula are changing in their content, their format, in the methodology used and in the targets that students are set. The evaluation of curricula and the planning of change are processes that are themselves undergoing revision.
目前，北美地区课程的变化受到多种因素的推动，包括疾病模式的改变、牙科学校就诊患者需求的变化、在不使课程负担过重和不给学生造成过大压力的情况下拓宽教育体验的愿望。课程在内容、形式、所采用的教学方法以及为学生设定的目标等方面都在发生变化。课程评估和变革规划本身也在经历修订。
