Following the Federal Budget announcing $65.1 million for a School of Dentistry and Oral Health at Charles Sturt University (CSU), the architectural design concept for the Dental Education Clinic on CSU’s Dubbo Campus will be unveiled on Saturday 2 June 2007. The Dubbo Dental Education Clinic is designed to complement and supplement existing public and private dental services in Dubbo and will be developed in close consultation with existing dental practitioners. The University will offer opportunities for dental practitioners to work as adjunct academic appointments in the program. The University will immediately begin the process of establishing the multi-campus infrastructure of the School of Dentistry and negotiating staff appointments. The first CSU dentistry students are expected to enrol in 2009, with the University aiming for 240 places for dental students over five years.
