Cranefield university is offering a good MSc course in Clinical research . It is a great viable option for bds guys who do not want to go into rote practice. It is one of the fastest growing industry and many projects are being out sourced to India.
Think about it

Shocking letter from BDJ april 2010

"India is passing through the same stage and perpetrating the same mistakes. Fresh dental graduates are paid less then Rs 6,000 per month (approximately US$120), with many dental graduates forced to work in call centres or to change profession. Increasing the number of health professionals is not going to help the problem and will lead to tarnishing the profession."

While a limited number of examples are true in some of the C grade dental schools, generally the quality of dental education is not as bad as it has been made up in this BDJ letter. It is matter of opinion of the author A Singh, but personally I have been a teacher for over 24 years and worked in at least six different dental schools.I firmly believe that a major number of dental graduates are trained well and adapt to the Indian conditions and deliver the quality dental care at very affordable prices.
I strongly believe that the Dental Council of India is doing a very exemplary job of regulation of the dental education. We all professionals also have a role to play in maintaining the standards by being true to our teaching profession and pledging not to work part time or so called visiting faculty.

Is Dentistry in Crisis ?


Are there too many dentists? No dental surgeon who are willing to travel to district level places and practice are doing very well. The villages of india also require the dental surgeon to go and settle down , in fact many dentists in maharashtra and gujrat who went to the villages ended up being the overall health care people of that area, many have started their full fledged hospitals and employed other mbbs doctors and created a center for health service in remote areas. This photograph shows oral cancer awareness camp being done in remote village in Rajasthan called as tala mode region about 45 kms from Jaipur. Oral Cancer education and toludine blue staining on the site was done. The cases detected were then biopsied the next day in camp itself !! there is so much work to be done in India we have just scratched the surface.
If any one of you is working in remote village areas I need to contact you and maybe meet you.
