This review examines the establishment of the Dental
Medicine Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Dentistry in Fez
(FMPDF), highlighting its role in addressing the inequities in dental education
and healthcare access in Morocco. With only two public dental faculties serving
the entire country, regional disparities and limited resources have long
hindered oral healthcare. This initiative aims to decentralize dental
education, expand access to care, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration
and research. The review explores the historical context, challenges in implementation,
and the anticipated impact of this program on Morocco’s healthcare system.
Insights are drawn from national and international studies to contextualize its
potential outcomes.
