COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DE ORAL SURG T . ■ -. ' i iei 300 Hugh Rogers Columbia Dental School: a Microcosm in Social Transition Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world ' s phenomena intersect, only once in this way and never again . . . that is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wondrous, and worthy of every consideration. Each man ' s life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that — one in an awkward, the other in a more intelli- gent way, each as best he can . . . Each of us . . . strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each of us is able to interpret himself to himself alone. 1 Hermann Hesse American society is in a state of explosive, violent change. Bob Dylan remarked about this in 1963, when he stated: Come gather ' round people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you ' ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin ' Then you better start swimmin ' or you ' ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin! 2 The events since that time, especially those during our years at Co- lumbia, have reinforced Dylan ' s prophecy. INVITE TO H€iP K5F - ! x . - f Wit Three national leaders were senselessly assassinated. Student activism at many col- eges and high schools throughout the country, as well as an increasingly youthful black militancy, has mushroomed. Political protest has burgeoned and brought forth verbal and physical reaction from au- thority. Physical and political genocide has occurred abroad, while homicide and sui- cide have increased at home. Peaceful protest marches in New York City, anti-war moratoriums throughout the country, and happenings at Bethel, Wood- stock, Love Valley, Tenino, and Lewisville have been attempts, mainly by the young, to contend with and voice opposition to these national and international occur- rences. Our years at Columbia have also seen the uprising of the downtrodden, the un- derdog — the N.Y. Jets, Mets and Knicks each won the world championship in their respective sport. The United States landed a man on the moon, and Tiny Tim married Miss Vicki. Underlying most of the events cited above is the increasing amount of violence in our society and our reaction to or attempts to escape from it. Violence has been compared to a fever in the body politic; it is but a symptom of some more basic pathology which must be cured before the fever will disappear. The primary etiologic fac- tors of the disease include haphazard urbanization, racial dis- crimination, disfiguring of the environment, unprecedented interdependence, and the dislocation of human identity and moti- vation created by an affluent society. These basic causes cannot be eliminated entirely. The way in which we can make the greatest progress toward reducing violence in America is by taking the actions necessary to improve the social, physical, and psychological condi- tions of family and community life for all who live in our cities, and especially for the poor who are concentrated in the ghetto slums. As dental practitioners many of us will seek to practice in an area that is free from robbery and attacks on our patients and ourselves; as members of the health professions we must nevertheless fulfill our obligations toward the amelioration of physical and oral problems of the ghetto residents; as individual citizens we will desire to live safely in a community, without fear of violence to our wives, selves, or children; and as human beings we must care enough for all people in society to strive towards alleviating the existing misery and suffering. We have a responsibility to ourselves, our families, and society to actively participate in delivering that which we have been trained for, dental health care, to the ghetto community and other poor as well as those more economically favored. The dentist must become a socially sensitive individual. This is a sharp change from the role previously played by and expected of dental practitioners. Heretofore, dentists catered almost exclusively to a white, upper middle class clientele; we now have the responsibility of providing services to the non-white, lower class individuals as well. This duty has not been performed to any great extent by dentists in the past. One writer has character- ized the dentist as the only health professional who encases himself in a five-by-eight room, works from nine till five, four days a week, and never works nights; has no relation to the community around him, . . . has no connection with a hospital or a school, other than belonging to the PTA where his children went to school. Another has stated that In the public ' s eye, (the dentist) doesn ' t provide community leadership, doesn ' t support community activities with either time or money ... So far as the public is concerned, (dentists) all could be members of Anonymous Anonymous. By the time a student starts to prepare for his professional career, his major personality characteristics, sense of values, and behavioral attitudes probably have been determined by his parents, prior schooling, and his peers. The main factor in determining the extent to which the student will acquire the character- istics of social sensitivity is his nature at the time he enters dental school. J % I ■ a The problem for the dental school therefore becomes how to develop graduates who can contribute significantly to the optimum well-being of a changing society. Dentistry has to adapt to new conditions and different demands. This is best accomplished by devising an entirely new curriculum and adhering to a philosophy more in keeping with the changing times. The primary sources from which a curriculum in the health professions should be derived are the needs of society in toto and its members in particular, and the aspirations of the individual or future practitioner. These factors are perhaps epitomized by the two quotations at the beginning of this essay. In the first, Hesse expresses the basic values, importance and uniqueness of every human being that truly makes him worthy o f every consideration. The second describes man ' s own search for his significance, his attempt to find himself among all the many characters he portrays, roles he fulfills, and paths he may tread throughout life. A curriculum in keeping with these tenets should provide for an increased awareness of mankind and have a content fertile with opportunities to achieve a sense of self-fulfillment as an individual in the dental profession. One of the goals of dental education should be to train practi- tioners in unique approaches and ideas with regard to diagnosis and treatment. This cannot be accomplished by instructing all stu- dents identically. The curriculum should be built on individual interests, potentials, capabilities and desires; it ought to make the four years in school relevant to the individual ' s ultimate goals and how he wants to accomplish them. This can only be done by having flexibility in dental curriculums, rather than a fixed, rigid, traditional dental curriculum. The new Columbia Dental School philosophy conceives of professional education as a life long continuum in which certain phases are more formalized, structured and concentrated than others. The aim is to produce graduates capable of assuming leadership in the scientific and professional community by academic affiliations either in teaching, research or hospital service ... Two major emphases of the new educational sequence are the prevention of disease and the delivery of dental health care to a larger community than is now able to partake in the services. The Columbia graduate is envisioned to be a leader in his community and in his group practice. He will be an erudite dental scientist and clinical diagnostician, well versed in dental technical concepts, able to perform them competently and integrate the basic sciences with them. 10 Hugh Roger The new first year curriculum consists of the core biomedical courses; everything that we took in one and one half years condensed into one. An overview of dentistry is offered (Introduction to Dentistry I), in which the profession, as seen by the staff, is communicated to the neophyte odontologists. Year two is the core biodental year. Pharmacology is the only biomedical subject offered. Two new courses that resynthesize material formerly given in fractionated form are Development and Function of the Oral System, and Biology of the Oral Tissues. The former interrelates oral histology and embryology; the development, morphology and phylogeny of the dentition and occlusion; and oral soft tissue anatomy. The latter treats the basic medical sciences as related to the dental sciences. Other subjects include Statistics and Epidemiology, Introduction to Human Behavior, Preventive Dentistry and Community Health, and Oral Pathology. 12 The second half of the second year introduces the preclinical sciences: oral surgery, prosthodontics, operative dentistry, and periodontics. The emphasis, however, will be on understanding the conceptual basis of dentistry as opposed to rote technique. The basic theme will be integration of all aspects of dental care; viewing and treating patients totally. This correlative course is called Introduction to Dentistry II. A summer session will be followed by the third or major clinical year. All required clinic training will hopefully be completed during this period. The fourth year is to be one entirely of electives. An individualized track suiting each student ' s needs and career aspirations will be devised. 13 ■ flfe i S8p ' ' -• ■ m ' ■• ' ■ ia3 The question now arises of how and where do we, the graduating class of 1971, fit into the dental school and dental profession in transition. Perhaps a more basic point is do we want to accept the changing ideals espoused by Columbia for the dentist of the future. Do we desire to assume the traditional, society-conceived role of the dentist and reap the expected concrete, tangible rewards? If so, there should and will be a place for us in the profession as solo practitioners. If, on the other hand, we feel that our conception of profes- sional activity is congruent with the philosophy discussed above, in which a lifetime of learning is combined with service and leadership, then we too have a much greater place in the future of dentistry as teachers or participants in newly created dental health teams devoted to providing care to the larger community. We, the members of the Class of 1971, are uniquely transitional, a vanishing type of dental student. Those of us who fail to grasp the implications for change may become anachronisms within our own generation of professionals. For us and those before us, the dental school in transition has been mainly an ethereal abstraction or an ephemeral reverie. It is for those who will follow us tomorrow and beyond that the dental school transformed will be a self-fulfilling reality. The ideas and options ' expressed in this essay do not presently represent those of the entire Class of 1971 . The material is offered for the graduates and others to peruse; it may. stimulate some, arouse others. As long as the new members of the profession realize that the teaching and the practice of den- tistry is rapidly changing, the words and the photographs have served their purpose. Perhaps in the future, the thoughts may be more universally accepted. We would especially (ike to thank Photographer Hugh Rogers, 165 W. 91st St., NYC, for providihg most of the photographs in the essay and many throughout the remaining pages, and Jean Finken for typing many letters.

As an advisor to many of us during our troubled first two years, he imparted sage advice and information. As an instructor in Stomatology, he displayed a willingness to ex- plain and clarify in a pleasant, relaxing and reas- suring manner. As the faculty organizer of numerous social events, he has provided the stu- dents and faculty with many enjoyable hours. He has neither sought recognition nor thanks. We believe that both are long overdue him. His example of unselfish dedication to his profession and school and his love of his students will re- main with us. For this we are truly grateful, and the Class of 1971 is proud to dedicate its year- book to Joseph A. Cuttita, D.D.S. 21 • PRECL ' •— f V .4T s f Edward Derhpsey Cfiairman; Anatomy Listen, fellow graduates, Class of Seventy-one To a tale of labor, of boredom and fun.
