Dental education in India has been growing at a rapid pace, driven by the factors of technology adoption, curriculum changes, and the increasing focus on clinical training. The institutions have integrated the use of digital dentistry, simulation, and interdisciplinary learning to prepare the students for the modern dental practices.
This change is to bring the dental education in India at par with international standards and to increase the employability of the students.
However, there is a lack of faculty who are clinicians and researchers, which are vital in preparing future dentists. By offering guidance to students and leading research projects, they play an important role in providing quality education to make the students capable of solving complex cases and preparing them for the challenges of the ever-evolving dental field.
Located in Greater Noida, ITS Dental College bridges this gap with its experienced and well-trained faculty. The senior professionals have deep expertise with many of them having worked in the field for more than two decades and have greatly contributed to the reputation of the institution. The college boasts of its faculty retention where many of the staffs have worked for the college for a long time, even up to 23 years.
In addition, the faculty’s research and publication output is commendable. They publish in numerous scientific journals of high impact; many of the faculty members are enrolled in PhD programs in dentistry, which shows the commitment of the faculty to the development of the discipline.
Besides their knowledge, the faculty members’ participation in the organization of workshops and seminars is a great boost to learning. They hold many conferences, seminars which are contemporary and evidence based.
