Temple is starting a first-of-its kind program to train dentists to run community health centers, often considered the safety net for people who otherwise can't access care. Amid Ismail, the dean of Temple's Kornberg School of Dentistry, says the quality of care should be the same as in private practice. "But managing the clinic in terms of how you receive the patients, your scheduling system, your financial management system, the open door policy that you have to follow in the clinic are different because you have a different population with different needs and different pressures on them."
