Welcome to the faculty of Dentistry at Al Quds University. Our faculty, though a new one, has seen five classes graduate over the past five years with a Bachelor Degree in Dentistry (BDS). I am pleased to say that a good number of graduates are already pursuing postgraduate training at renowned centers across the globe.
Our young energetic teaching staff has been continuously working to attain a curriculum that reflects their vision for training tomorrow's leaders in oral health care. We have just recently implemented our new curriculum that is innovative and dynamic.
We also have an outreach program that involves students as well as teaching staff going to various cities and villages that do not have easy access to dental care. In order to overcome the obstacles that the community faces, check points and closures we aim at developing this outreach program by adding a mobile dental clinic that will offer basic dental treatment for those who lack access to basic dental care.
As Dean, it is my privilege to steward dental school mission. I am increasingly finding that our success in undergraduate medical and dental education requires the continuous utilization of quality improvement approach to address different problems, as well as, integration of team learning, and state-of-the art innovations in dental education. Our every day challenge is to weave all of these elements into a distinctive and excellent undergraduate experience. Our final success depends on the involvement of anyone and everyone with an interest and an ability to contribute.
Dentistry is a constantly developing field and we aim at always keeping up with this development as well as maintaining a high level patient management protocol that meets international levels in all fields of dentistry.
I am confident that the Faculty of Dentistry at Al-Quds University will continue to graduate dentists who by virtue of their diverse training, caring attitude and clinical experience will be leaders in the profession of dentistry.
