New “Adaptive Learning Technology” systems may soon

systems are designed to create an objective and baseline method for comparing
and quantifying projects and procedures completed by dental students across the
country, and are quickly being adopted and put into practice by many dental
schools. In this podcast, Dr. Callan discusses the advantages of using the Adaptive
Learning Technology systems, as well as how he thinks they will forever change
