Death, Dying, and Bereavement Education in Dental Schools.

Johnson, Helen Arleen; Henry, Robert G.

Journal of Dental Education, v60 n6 p524-26 Jun 1996

A 1988 survey of 50 dental schools found only 27 offered course content on coping with death, dying, or bereavement and none had a course dedicated to the topic. A variety of methods are used to present the information, and generally dental school faculty are the presenters. Only three schools intend to add this content to the curriculum. (MSE)
