The course would be set up for first years to learn about the history of the school, role of specialist, dental educators roles, and how the school receives their financial support. The second years would learn about opportunities of research, various organizations, how to become involved. The third years would have a round table discussion with second years about their experiences, Dental Foundation information, Public Health aspect, etc. The fourth years would have discussed their experiences of dental school, etc. This would be 2-hour course once a semester and the Dental Foundation offered to pay for lunches.
