Our Lady of Fatima University’s leadership in education reveals itself in each of its institutions.
In 1999, the College of Dentistry garnered a 100% passing mark in the Dental Licensure Examinations. An outstanding achievement made greater by a repeat performance in 2000 when they again garnered a 100% passing rate. The pre-clinical laboratory houses full-class dental training simulation phantom units designed to help students gain full working knowledge and manual skills prior to treating live patients. The clinical operatory has provisions for fully automated professional dental chairs and delivery units for the actual management of pre-screened cases. You’ll also find an isolated operatory for the management of clinical cases with high teaching and learning values. It is equipped with a closed circuit audio-visual documenting unit that simultaneously projects actually procedures in the different lecturing and operatory areas.
Access to cutting-edge equipment and facilities gives the Fatima student a clear advantage. The College features facilities for didactic lectures, clinical seminars, pre-clinical laboratory and clinical operatory works.
The College of Dentistry implements one of the more innovative competency-based dental curriculum. The College includes curricular enrichment such as Pedagogy and Perspective in Dentistry; and is the first to offer Infection Control, Conscious Sedation and Forensic Dentistry as separate curricular offerings. A unique element of the program is the inclusion of veni-puncture exercises that allow students to acquire the competency to do intra-venous infusion of medication and sedatives. Access to cutting edge equipment and facilities give the Fatima student a clear advantage. The Colelge features facilities for didactic lectures, clinical seminars, pre-clinical laboratory and clinical operatory works.
