1School of Dentistry, University of Liverpool.
Abstract:
The fall in applications to dental schools in the UK has resulted in various recruiting strategies. One such move was the introduction of a two-day residential course for fifth and sixth formers which was first instigated in 1989. This paper describes the course which had been run on four occasions with a total of 160 participants. The results of a survey on the impressions of the course by these participants is reported. It appears that the courses are effective in increasing interest in dentistry in the vast majority of participants.
