FACULTY AND STAFF
What is standard 3-1?
The program must be administered by a director who has authority and responsibility for
all aspects of the program.
What do the program director’s responsibilities include: (6)
a) program administration;
b) development and implementation of the curriculum plan;
c) ongoing evaluation of program content, faculty teaching, and resident performance;
d) evaluation of resident training and supervision in affiliated institutions and offservice rotations;
e) maintenance of records related to the educational program; and
f) resident selection.
*Intent for Standard 3-1
In programs where the program director assigns some duties to other individuals, it is expected that the program will develop a formal
plan for such assignments that includes (3):
1) what duties are assigned;
2) to whom they are assigned; and
3) what systems of communication are in place between the program director and individuals who have been assigned responsibilities.
In those programs where applicants are assigned centrally, responsibility for selection of residents may be delegated to a designee.
*Intent Standard 3-1
4 Examples of evidence to demonstrate compliance with standard 3-1 may include?

- Formal plan for assignment of program director’s job responsibilities as described above
- Program records
Standard 3-2: Program directors appointed after January 1, 2008, who have not previously served as an Advanced Education in General Dentistry or General Practice Residency program director, MUST…
Example of evidence:
have completed an accredited Advanced Education in General Dentistry or General Practice Residency program.
Example: Program director’s completed BioSketch
Standard 3-3: For each off-campus site, there MUST…
Two Examples of evidence:
be an on-site clinical supervisor/director who is qualified by education and/or clinical experience in the curriculum areas for which he/she
is responsible.
Examples:
- Completed BioSketch for on-site clinical supervisor/director
- Written criteria used to certify a non-specialist faculty member as responsible for a specialty teaching area
Standard 3-4: All sites where educational activity occurs MUST…
be staffed by faculty who are qualified by education and/or clinical experience in the curriculum areas for which they are responsible and have collective competence in all areas of dentistry included in the program.
Intent of Standard 3-4:
All sites where educational activity occurs must be staffed by faculty who are qualified by education and/or clinical experience in the curriculum areas for which they are responsible and have collective competence in all areas of dentistry included in the program.
Faculty should have current knowledge at an appropriate level for the curriculum areas for which they are responsible (e.g., the faculty member responsible for endodontics is not required to be an endodontist. Instead, it could be someone with current knowledge and appropriate level of experience in endodontics).
The faculty, collectively, should have competence in all areas of dentistry covered in the program. The program is expected to develop written criteria and qualifications that would enable a faculty member to be responsible for a particular specialty teaching area if that faculty
member is not a specialist in that area.
The program is expected to evaluate non-specialist faculty members who will be responsible for a particular specialty teaching area and document that they meet the program’s criteria and qualifications. Whenever possible, programs should avail themselves of specialists as trained consultants for the development of a mission and curriculum, and for teaching.
5 Examples of evidence to demonstrate compliance with Standard 3-4
- Full and part-time faculty rosters
- Program and faculty schedules
- Completed BioSketch of faculty members
- Written criteria used to certify a non-specialist faculty member as responsible for a specialty teaching area
- Records of program documentation that non-specialist faculty members are responsible for a specialty teaching area

What is standard 3-7?
Intent?
