The U.P.G.C. advised that a school of dentistry should

be related to a medical school; in their pre-clinical year dental

students study the same subjects as medical students and it makes

sense for them to be taught in the same departments. It would

also be uneconomical to try to conduct a dental school in

isolation from the many common services which could be shared

with a medical school.

11.16 The U.P.G.C. recommended that the proposed dental

school be sited at the University of Hong Kong. They considered

that the pre-clinical part of the dental school would be a small

and manageable addition to the existing pre-clinical undertaking

of the University of Hong Kong and advised this would be much

simpler than to seek to add this further addition to C.U.H.K. The U.P.G.C. further advised that a dental teaching clinic (the equivalent of a teaching hospital for doctors) would be required.
