Undergraduate and Postgraduate Orthodontics in Australia

University of Queensland Dental School, Turbot St, Brisbane, Qld 4000, Australia

Professor T.J. Freer, Dental School, Turbot St., Brisbane, Australia 4000

Undergraduate orthodontic education in Australian university dental schools reflects a strong British influence. The Australian Dental Council is not responsible for undergraduate course accreditation and the development of a more distinctly Australian model might be expected, although not in isolation from the traditional British and American influences. Postgraduate specialty training has been more directly influenced by the North American dental schools, and specialist registers in the states and territories reflect that influence. The Australian Dental Council will commence accreditation of postgraduate specialty courses in 1999.

Key words: Postgraduate Education, Reciprocity, Specialist Registration, Undergraduate Education
