The New Odonto-Stomatology Major at DTU

In 2018, DTU will begin offering a new Odonto-Stomatology major to meet current student and community demands.

Few of the universities offering Health Science education include an Odonto-Stomatology option. With the need for more advanced healthcare, there is currently a local shortage of dentists and oral specialists, so the quality of treatment is limited. In view of this situation, DTU will start enrolling for its major in Odonto-Stomatology in 2018, aiming to meet the study requirements of students and provide the community with many more medical professionals.

DTU currently offers the following majors in the Health Sciences:

- General Practitioner

- Bachelor of Pharmacy

- General Nursing

These majors have attracted more and more applicants with excellent high school results and the number increases each year. An opinion survey confirmed that the DTU study environment, curricula and facilities were ideal and satisfied all requirements. DTU partners with two major American universities to share programs, with the University of Illinois in Chicago, which has the most comprehensive program in medicine and nursing in the US, and with the University of Pittsburgh, ranked fifth in the top 15 American universities in Health Science education and research.

DTU has also signed agreements with local hospitals, such as the Danang C Hospital, the Danang General Hospital, the Ministry of Public Security 199 Hospital, the 17 Military Hospital Region 5, the Hue Central Hospital and the General Hospital in the highlands of northern Quang Nam, to offer practical clinical experience with a variety of patients.

The 3D medical applications completed so far include 3D models of the skeleton, muscular, nervous, digestive and circulatory systems, which visualize the interior of the human body, either in 2D form in the computer labs or on smartphones, or in 3D in a projection studio. It will also provide views of the structure of the head and face, to accurately diagnose patients before treating them.
