Study on the scale and tendency of dental schools in the United States and its implications to China
The number of dental schools increased from 55 in 2000 to 66 in 2019 in the United States. The number of public
private
and private-state-related dental schools were 40
22 and 4
respectively. A majority of them were located in most developed areas
such as western
eastern
and southern regions of the country. In the same period
the number of freshman enrollees rose from 4 234 to 6 231 while the average of enrollees kept under 100. On the basis of learning relevant experiences of the United States
it might be necessary for China to expand the overall scale of stomatology education in order to address the shortage of dentists
take measures to increase the number of stomatology schools and improve their distribution
and control the number of enrollees per school to enhance the quality of education.
