The influence of a two-day recruiting course on groups of fifth and sixth formers.
The fall in applications to dental schools in the UK has resulted in various recruiting strategies. One such move was the introduction of a two-day residential course for fifth and sixth formers which was first instigated in 1989. This paper describes the course which had been run on four occasions with a total of 160 participants. The results of a survey on the impressions of the course by these participants is reported. It appears that the courses are effective in increasing interest in dentistry in the vast majority of participants.
