I mentioned in this weeks blog that we had a big announcement. This is a first of its kind. It is also a huge endorsement of the CCADS program and of the dean of the University of British Columbia, Charles Shuler, who is committed to delivering the training that dentists need for todays changing environment.
Announcement:
The California Center for Advanced Dental Studies (CCADS) is pleased to announce a partnership with the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Dentistry (UBC Dentistry), located in Vancouver, Canada.
Garrett Caldwell, President of CCADS, says, “The UBC Dentistry partnership is a great way for dentists to experience two of the most credible brands in dental education. UBC Dentistry has a long history of providing world-class education, and CCADS’ postgraduate programs are renowned for providing an excellent educational experience.”
The partnership is viewed by all parties as a long-term arrangement that will help advance the training of dentists.
“Aligning with, and offering CCADS’ programs as part of the UBC Dentistry’s Continuing Dental Education program, is another way to ensure the quality of education that dentists experience at UBC is continued once they graduate. At UBC Dentistry, we are committed to providing the highest level of education and educational experience and we welcome a partnership with CCADS,” comments Dr. Charles Shuler, Dean and Professor, UBC Dentistry.
Paolo Kalaw, Chairman of CCADS, says, “Supporting Dean Shuler’s vision to produce exceptionally well-qualified dentists and a continuing dental education experience that competes with the best around the world is one of the key reasons that CCADS is excited to be a part of this partnership.”
