| Project Description: |
| This program expansion will be based in Miami-Dade County and will run concurrently with the existing Foreign Trained Dental program at UF College of Dentistry. The expansion will effectively double the size of the existing program while offering teleconference, telemedicine, web-bsaed courses, digital radiology and streaming video will be utilized to conduct this program. Presently, there are neither adequate facilities nor available faculty/staff resources to plan and run the expanded program in Miami-Dade. |

No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| This program would double the number from currently 12 student to 24 student per year who are certified to become licensed to practice dentistry in Florida. At the same time, this expansion will add ethnic minority dentists and additional dental services for children, the underserved and the working poor in the Miami-Dade area. |
