West Visayas State University – College of Dentistry held the second-level screening for eligible applicants to its Doctor of Dental Medicine program on May 5, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the New Academic Building 2.

The screening gathered aspiring dental students in a series of assessments designed to evaluate their readiness for the program. The screening was administered by faculty and staff, led by College of Dentistry Dean Dr. Liza Assumpta M. Jover and Admissions Committee Chair Dr. Eva Marie V. Gustilo. It consisted of three components: an essay and a dexterity examination in the morning, followed by panel interviews in the afternoon, conducted across various stations and rooms within the college.

The process aims to assess applicants’ competencies, particularly critical thinking, communication, and manual skills essential to dental practice, before admission into the program.

The screening reflects WVSU’s commitment to maintaining high standards in dental education by selecting candidates who demonstrate both academic potential and clinical aptitude.
