It will be smiles all round when the Charles Sturt University (CSU) School of Dentistry foundation students celebrate their professional induction at the inaugural White Coat Ceremony on Friday 21 May. Representatives from the Australian Dental Association (NSW Branch), local practitioners and staff will join the second year students as they are presented with a white lab coat featuring the CSU Arms. The white coats will be presented to the 2009 foundation students by Head of the School of Dentistry and Health Sciences, Professor David Wilson. “The coat is a memento signifying the students’ commitment to the course and the dental profession,” he said. With the establishment of dentistry clinics at Albury, Bathurst, Orange, Dubbo and Wagga Wagga, the second year students are looking forward to beginning their practical work.
