Focus on dental education in Cork
12.04.2011
It is a source of pride to the Cork University Dental School and Hospital (CUDS) that it continues to attract a very high calibre student according to Professor Finbarr Allen, Dean who was interviewed in the March issue of the Irish Dental Journal in a feature on the CUDS.

Of the Leaving Cert intake in 2010, 20% of the class achieved 600 (maximum) points in the examination. The mature student intake over the recent years has included PhDs, pharmacists and solicitors while the Dean (along with the Chair of the Dental School Teaching and Curriculum committee) interviews and assesses the “mature entry” and international students that apply for places ensuring that their standards meet those of the class cohort.

The Irish Dental Journal is the official publication of the Irish Dental Association. To read the full article visit p21 of www.thinkmedia.ie/jida.html

The Cork University Dental School and Hospital will celebrate its centenary next year, 2013.
