In threshold of 7th integrated ceremony that is held in 13th July, we communicate with Dr. Rokn dean of dental school.
In next days, we have 7th integrated ceremony, please explain us condition of your Alumni?
I congratulate this ceremony and our school is oldest school around the country; at the first of revolution, we had just 5 dental schools in the country that their faculties are from graduations of this school. This school carries load of dentistry because at now 90% of dentists are public dentists and carry main load of treatment and for that reason we have tried to give a special priority to that.
In this school we have public dental course that is 6-year period and 10 special courses. Except for maxillofacial surgery, all of courses are three-year and also we have 2 PhD courses in the field of oral health.
Role of public physicians of dentistry in improve of health of community?
Health of Oral and dental has an important role of society and definitely if graduates of dental school are more, health of society will be more. Our alumni deliver services with more quality, in a period that we had little dentists, in reason of frequency of patients; aim was doing a work and at now must enrich quality more than quantity.
As a head of greatest and oldest dental school, what’s your expectation from your alumni?
We must invite all of them to school and familiar with their comments and exploit their supports and we hope to compensate to some extent that. We have professors that their children have been faculty and this shows our antiquity. They owe their character to this school. One of our alumni donated his library to school that some of them are old and precious. Of course they are too valuable and we have received much intellectual assistance, programming and financial aids.
In integrated ceremony, all of courses and all of grades have been participated, what’s your approach about this integrated ceremony?
This issue has two approaches, this shows greatness of University and this will be better, if this ceremony is held in University and we try to maintain principle and our alumni because definitely they come back to their University lastly.
