Members of the UNMC College of Dentistry Class of 2009 got a 100 percent pass rate on the second part of their nation board exams.
The repeat performance is reminiscent of the 100 percent pass rate they got when the students took the first part of their national board exams.
“The national failure rates for the Dental National Boards (either Part I or Part II) are about 10 percent, so for an entire class to have 100 percent passing on the first administration is a significant accomplishment,” said John Reinhardt, D.D.S., dean of the College of Dentistry.
Over the past 20 years, the only other dental class that has had the same level of success was the Class of 2006.
“This success is a tribute to the bright, hardworking students and to the exceptional faculty who teach them,” Dr. Reinhardt said.
