This study is located in the context of the initial development of dental health professionals within those higher education institutions that endeavour to provide education and training in a rapidly changing context. This context is characterised by the simultaneous need to address the blurring of boundaries and the dichotomies that exist such as the first world and the third world, the developed and the less developed world, the rich and the poor, health and wealth, the private and the public sectors, the formal and the informal sectors, the advantaged and the disadvantaged, the privileged and the underprivileged. xiv All the students who took the time and effort in sharing their views through the questionnaires in a very open way. The well-structured programme at the School of Educational Studies, University of Durban-Westville, where I commenced my studies and which allowed for me to test and develop my ideas. The facilitators, Chandru Kistan, Cliff Malcolm, Rashida Naidoo, Labby Ramrathan, Michael Samuel, Reshma Sookraj and Renuka Vithal who gave up weekends and developed the participants and the programme.
