Students
The overriding vision for the academic health center
is interprofessional collaboration in education,
research, and patient care/service. This is an exciting
time for UCSD and the entire University of Colorado
Health Science of the Fitzimmons campus. The
School of Dentistry moved into its new comprehensive oral health center equipped with the highest
technology, critical care, educational facilities, and
the Lazzara Center for Oral Facial Health.
