Reviews
In providing a comprehensive overview of the career paths currently open
to oral health professionals, this book will serve as an essential
reference guide for anyone considering a career in oral health. It covers,
for example, clinical career paths in general dentistry (in private
practices, community centers, and hospitals) and each of the various
specialties, academically related career paths in both teaching and
research, and non-traditional paths (community, government, administration,
policy making, government research, and oral health organizations). The
authors are from various countries and both academic and non-academic
backgrounds. They have been selected for their distinction in particular
career paths and include in their contributions insights gained from
personal experience. This book will be ideal for readers seeking an
introductory portrait of the different career paths in oral health, such as
students. It will also be a useful source for those wishing to re-examine
the field, e.g., oral health graduates considering their career choices, or
to acquaint themselves with contemporary issues and debates. About the Author Rodrigo Mariño is a Professor at the Melbourne Dental School, University
