Excerpt from College of Dentistry, 1965-1967To accomplish these objectives, the College of Dentistry strives to pro vide a climate of learning wherein the acquisition of knowledge and clinical skills is focused upon the development of the dental student as a professional person. The education of the dental student is, therefore, broadly based and carefully oriented to three areas of learning - the biological sciences, the clinical sciences, and the social sciences.The acquisition of new knowledge in these areas is, of course, depen dent upon continuous research. In its pursuit of excellence, the College of Dentistry has traditionally maintained active research programs. Much of this research is directed toward the investigation of basic biological problems, since dentistry shares with - medicine the responsibility for the prevention and treatment of many of the disease entities yet to be con quered. In addition, basic and clinical research studies are directed to ward gaining new knowledge in the mechanisms responsible for dental decay and diseases of the gums and bony tissue that support the teeth. These research programs serve the added function of providing training and experience for selected graduate dentists, many of whom are studying for advanced degrees and specialty certification.Finally, from its position as an international leader in dental education, the College of Dentistry is acutely aware of the many problems of world health. In this context, the College has become a center for advanced training of foreign dental teachers and researchers. Following varied periods of graduate or postgraduate traming in special fields of dentistry, these people return to their own countries with new knowledge and broadened experiences in dental education.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
