The experiences of the programs of Supervised Professional Practice and for Rural Oral Health Promoters conducted by the School of Dentistry of San Carlos University in Guatemala are described. The first of these programs was designed to have students practice the profession during an eight-month academic period in hinterland towns under periodical supervision by their professors, and the second resulted as an unexpected offshoot during the initial stages of the program of Supervised Professional Practice in a northwestern district of Guatemala. The history and progress of both programs are described, some results are presented, and the salient features of university-community interaction, as exemplified by these programs, are discussed in terms of a theoretical model designed by one of the authors.
本文描述了危地马拉圣卡洛斯大学牙科学院开展的专业实践监督项目以及农村口腔健康促进者项目的经验。其中第一个项目旨在让学生在为期八个月的学术期间，在偏远城镇实习，并接受教授的定期监督；第二个项目则是在危地马拉西北部地区的专业实践监督项目初期意外衍生出来的。文中介绍了这两个项目的历史和进展，展示了一些成果，并根据其中一位作者设计的理论模型，讨论了以这些项目为例的大学与社区互动的显著特征。
