The 8 year stomatology education is a new educational system in China, which is divided into two stages: the first 5-years for preclinical, clinical medicine and basic dentistry training and the second 3-years for resident dentist training. Students are required to complete a clinical based research study in the last year. Ability oriented education is emphasized. Doctoral Degree of Medical Science (Stomatology) is granted for students who finish all courses and meet all requirements. Two classes of students already graduated from our school.
