DONNA F. EDWARDS of maryland in the house of representatives Tuesday, September 28, 2010 Ms. EDWARDS of Maryland. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a new postgraduate educational program in dentistry of the United States Air Force. The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, USUHS, and the United States Air Force, USAF, Dental Service have collaborated to provide a Master of Science in Oral Biology. The recently accredited USAF Postgraduate School of Dentistry is a unique partnership between USUHS and the 59th Medical Wing at Wilford Hall Medical Center on Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The newly established Air Force postgraduate educational program in dentistry will give our airmen and women the opportunity to receive an accredited master's degree in oral biology for the first time in its history. The initiative was spearheaded by Major General Gar S. Graham, Assistant Surgeon General for Dental Services and Commander of the 79th Medical Wing at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. This is another step towards fulfilling our commitment to providing our servicemembers with the educational opportunities they deserve. The class of summer 2010 will be the first class eligible to receive this prestigious degree through USUHS. ____________________
