Abstract
The intentional and thorough support of new heathcare professionals is critical for their timely development. This is particularly true in the field of orthodontics, in which multiple treatment approaches can be utilized to achieve acceptable patient outcomes. The varied management techniques employed by different clinicals/faculty can be confusing to residents and potentially detrimental to their ability to establish a sound foundation. To aid in their formative development and add clarity to the patient management process, the Indiana University School of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics has developed a Faculty Treatment Guide, which serves to provide key information and practitioner preferences during patient care. With this additional information, the department has found that students are better equipped to engage faculty during the patient treatment planning process. This strategy also provides them with the "how" as they continue to learn the "why" through faculty and patient interactions.
