Our Institution has reached the status of being the most sought after private Dental Institution in the state. The secret to this achievement is its strong commitment to ‘QUALITY’, as inscribed in its vision and mission statement. SRDCH demonstrates this commitment in all domains, especially Academics and Student Support which are its focus areas. 

SRDCH is an ISO 9001:2015 certified Institution. This ‘Quality-drive’ is disseminated and maintained by the IQAC, through Awareness programs, procedural documentation, regular administration meetings, training sessions, Faculty development programmes, internal/external audits, student handbook, student mentoring programme, stakeholder feedbacks etc., to ensure quality. 

SRDCH, in its pursuit of quality in professional education ensures the same by strict implementation of the Dental Curriculum as mandated by the Dental Council of India. The academic cell has a robust monitoring system that periodically evaluates the performance of students. The outcome of which is evident in the excellent pass percentage acquired by students in the University examinations. The students get a preview of their specific upcoming program in the Induction and orientation programs that sensitise and prepare them for it. Orientation programs for the first years BDS, III year Clinical students and BDS Interns are conducted. The newly introduced Learning Management System (LMS) has made study materials accessible to students. The dental student is made industry ready on graduation by intensive training in Clinical skills, value added courses in the first and third year BDS, holistic care in the comprehensive clinic, and other student development programmes. The Code of Conduct (COC) is disseminated every year to sculpt the students into ethical individuals. The student mentoring system paves the way for academic and personal support to the student as they cope with academic and personal growth. The Research committee fosters research culture among students and faculty. This holistic approach in dental education has always distinguished an SRDCian from other dental professionals.

SRDCH has exemplary patient care facilities. Updated technologies driven treatment in the hands of empathetic, ethical and trained professionals are the hallmark of patient care at SRDCH. The three tier systems of dental services are an excellent example of how the Institution leverages it resources to provide quality services to people of all strata. A mobile dental care unit is used in outreach programmes to deliver doorstep healthcare to the vulnerable population. The Patient Management Software (DMS) has helped the system go paperless by saving energy and time, thereby increasing the efficiency in patient handling.  The well-equipped Comprehensive Clinic and VIP clinic provides time bound customized, one-point patient care for all tertiary dental care for interdisciplinary procedures, people with special needs and high end elective dental services. The patient care services are delivered in such a way as to make SRDCH- the most preferred domicile for dental care as outlined in the mission statement.

A systematic feedback system is also being followed from all the stakeholders of the college. The quality of the environment is periodically checked through green audit and energy audit.

The Institution has also adapted itself during this pandemic by adherence to evidence based protocols in the clinical set-up and conduct of online classes to ensure continuance of patient services and educational services.

Thus, this Quality-driven measure in the Institution makes it stand out distinctively from its contemporaries – both in education as well as patient care.
