Abstract
|
|
|
Following the footsteps of Scheifley, Boots and McAnlis placed Korean dental residents into stringent programs for clinical training and academic research activities according to their fields of specialty. Also, they initiated national oral hygienic education programs. Along with these programs, a dental center, well-equipped with new machinery and facilities, now provided high quality medical examinations that followed U.S. dental standards. Within time, the proceeds from this center was used toward funding both studies abroad in the U.S. and for the development of dental studies.
In conjunction to these changes, the induction of western. dental care was developed alongside colonial Japan´s medical policies and the U.S.´s Christian missionary work in Korea. The historical significance of the medical treatment introduced by American missionary dentists based upon Christian voluntary work consciousness and medical ethics concerning Koreans lies in the fact that the infusion of American dental practices and capital provided a turning point in Korean medical history. Consequently, the residency system for Korean dentists of United Severance Medical School´s dental classrooms, for example, contributed to foster a gradual growth of Korean dentists who were to lead the dental academic circles, many of whom were estranged from professorship and academic research positions under colonial strictures.
