Henry Schein is partnering with the American College of Prosthodontists Education Foundation (ACPEF) to fund the ACPEF Digital Dentistry Curriculum Initiative.
The initiative focuses on CAD/CAM technology and will be offered to dental students and practicing dentists through continuing education programs. Henry Schein and ACPEF committed $1.25 million to fund it. The program is expected to be piloted by several dental schools beginning in 2017.
"We believe CAD/CAM technology enhances dentistry, and we are pleased to support this initiative, which will offer dental students the education and training needed to effectively apply this exciting technology in their future work," stated Stanley Bergman, chairman of the board and CEO of Henry Schein, in a press release. "We are proud to partner with the ACEF in helping to accelerate the adoption of digital dentistry."
"The ACP looks forward to creating a new digital curriculum for dentistry," stated Lyndon Cooper, DDS, PhD, chair of the ACPEF. "This exciting undertaking is made possible by the generous support of Henry Schein, and we are grateful for their commitment to the betterment of patient care, our practices, and education."
