FOCUS | ISSUE 6 | 2010
By comparison, approximately 10 percent of the UMKC School of Dentistry’s 2010 graduates went to work in Missouri’s FQHCs.
11) How many graduates will stay in Missouri to practice?
The Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health has accepted students each year from nearly half the states in the country. While there is no formula to determine where students will choose to live after graduation, the Missouri dental program will have an emphasis on recruiting qualifi ed students from rural regions in Missouri and the Midwest
12) Will a student’s application be impacted by a requirement to work in a FQHC/clinic after graduation?
The Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health does not require students to promise to work in a par- ticular setting after graduation, nor does the school engage in loan forgiveness negotiations. ASDOH does, however, encourage and facilitate participa- tion in loan forgiveness programs and has received a generous grant from the United Health Founda- tion to administer a loan repayment program for its graduates.
