I feel privileged to have the opportunity to reflect upon how the education of the next generation of dentists can evolve, to ensure that dentists continue to play an important role in improving oral and general health, particularly of people in communities that have been underserved traditionally.” — Professor Albert Leung, Head of the School of Dentistry, RCSI.
