The Cork University Dental School & Hospital, University College
Cork, introduced an innovative programme in April 2011, which
provided prospective dental students with an opportunity to
participate in a one-day experiential workshop. The aim of the
workshop was to provide students with an overview of the dental
undergraduate programmes. Feedback on the workshop was
exceptionally positive, and prospective students would recommend
the workshop to a fellow student, as it helped to inform their
decision about choosing dentistry as a first option.
