The News-Review - November 10, PROGRESS AT MCG Five years of progress at the Medical College of Georgia’s School of Dentistry was recognized Nov. 8. Developments which have led from an initial beginning of three faculty members in a mobile home to today’s nationally recognized faculty and facilities was brought out during a day-long program highlighted by a 10 a.m. recognition ceremony at the new School of Dentistry building. Dr. Judson C. Hickey, dean of the School of Dentistry, said, “We had three programs planned during the day and there were tours of the new facilities. The first program was the recognition ceremonies at 10 a.m., the secondwasa scientific program beginning at 1:30 p.m. and lasted most of the afternoon and a student-sponsored social event that evening.” Several hundred representatives of dentistry in the State and region and other guests took part in the day’s activities. Keynoting the 10 a.m. recognition ceremony was Dr. John C. Greene, assistant surgeon general of the U.S. Public Health Service and Dr. Alvin L. Morris, vice-president of the University of Kentucky. Dr. Harry B. O’Rear, president of MCG, presided Also present' was : Dr. George Simpson, chancellor of the University System of Georgia; Mayor Millard Beckum of Augusta; Dr. Gordon Watson, executive secretary of the American Dental Association and Dr. Harry W. Bruce, director, Division of Educational and Research Facilities, National Institute of Health. Initial dental school enrollment was 24 in 1969. This year there are 121 students and a faculty of 77 full-time and part-time members. The first graduating class will be the spring of 1973. The new biologic science facilities in the Research and Education Building feature individual student study and laboratory areas and classrooms with adjoining clinical dental facilities to enhance the correlation of biologic and clinical sciences. In the new School of Dentistry Building, there is a planned environment in which the dental student maintains his identity by learning practice of dentistry in his own dental office. Yet, he joins with other dental, dental hygiene and dental assistant students as part of a dental health team. Correlation between the basic sciences and clinical work is further enhanced by a faculty which includes 13 educators with doctorate degrees in both a basic science and in dentistry. The curriculum is now set up to take 12 academic quarters, lasting 36 months. It features treatment of patients combined with courses in human and oral biology beginning in the first week and extending throughout the entire curriculum. The first class entered under a four year program. There are opportunities for students to take part in summer enrichment program study, to study and have involvement with the community-at-large and for the motivated student to complete the curriculum in 11 quarters. The School has been active in research, advanced education and continuing education. Today there are advanced programs in oral surgery, orthodontics and pedodontics.
