•• Pacific's School of Dentistry • Adopts Three-year Curriculum • • By DICK ENGER Associate Director of Public Relations School of Dentistry • The University of the Pacific School of Dentistry has streamlined its curriculum, PACIFIC making it possible for students to become highly qualified dentists in three years • instead of the traditional four . The school is one of the first dental schools in the nation to adopt the shortened REVIEW curriculum. UOP and two other dental • schools-the Medical College of Georgia and the College of Medicine and Dentistry of UNIVERSITY New Jersey-have their entire freshman • OF THE PACIFIC classes on three-year programs this year . The revised curriculum will enable UOP to turn out one-third more graduates MARCH, 1972 per year-"an important factor in view of • the rapidly increasing demands for dental care today," according to Dr. Dale F. Redig, dean of the school. The plan will also ease the financial burden of the student, saving him one year of living expenses and placing him at work earlier. The accelerated training is being ac­ complished by extending the acade~ic year, by deleting redundant areas of In­ struction, and by more efficient presen­ tation of material. "However, the quality of our education is not being sacrificed," the dean pointed out. "We are not radically changing fundamental curriculum con­ tent-we are just tightening it up and UOP'S SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY is located making it more pertinent to today's dental at Sacramento and Webster Streets in San practice.''
