THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Volume 49 : Number 1 : Page 9 : Jan 2016
This issue of JCO contains a very interesting and, in many ways, disturbing report on the indebtedness faced by today’s orthodontic students. Drs. Dawn Pruzansky, Brittany Ellis, and Jae Hyun Park, all of the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, surveyed 174 recent graduates and current residents in advanced orthodontic programs. Their aim was to ascertain not only the level of indebtedness the respondents have incurred in attempting to become orthodontists, but how that indebtedness has affected their personal career, practice, and lifestyle decisions. Although the results should not be surprising to most of us, they are still eye-opening with respect to what the specialty may look like in the years ahead.
