All 45 third-year candidates from Gumi University's Department of Dental Hygiene, including student Jeong Se-na, were listed on the pass list announced on the 26th, achieving a 100% pass rate.


While the national average pass rate for the National Dental Hygienist Examination over the past three years is 79.0%, Gumi University's Department of Dental Hygiene has an average pass rate of 95.5%, which is more than 16% higher than the national average.


Yoo Ji-soo, head of the Department of Dental Hygiene at Gumi University, explained, "The secret to the high pass rate in the national exam is a field-mirror type practice room equipped with the latest medical equipment, customized practical training through field internships centered on university hospitals, and operation of a dental digital 3D expert training class, all of which are field-oriented differentiated curricula."
