School Of Dentistry

One of the major challenges facing the health sector of Ghana today includes inadequate numbers of dental surgeons. Entrance University of Health Sciences seeks to establish a dental school to help address this shortfall. The school will train more dental surgeons to support the nation’s effort to meet the increasing demands for quality health care of the growing population of Ghana and possibly other countries around the world. The trainees would be well grounded in current technology to position them appropriately in modern healthcare systems. Soft skills such as entrepreneurship, appropriate technology and proficiency in other languages such as French would be taught to ensure the graduates at the proposed school would be adequately prepared to practice in French speaking west African countries.
