Walsh, Margaret M.; Ishida, Helen
Journal of Dental Education, v54 n10 p602-08 Oct 1990
A survey of dental hygiene program directors (n=107) revealed that in associate degree/certificate and bachelor's programs, applicants, class size, and student achievement have declined since 1957 but student age and experience have increased. In addition, students tend to be female Caucasians. Recruitment and labor market implications are discussed. (Author/MSE)
