Academics
4-year diagonal. The basic, clinical, and social science
courses are presented individually and then interrelated by the free use of correlation courses. As the
emphasis on basis and preclinical sciences decreases
from year one to year four, the students’ exposure to
the clinical sciences increases. First year: Basic science and preclinical technique courses and behavioral
science treatment with limited clinical exposure. Second year: A continuation of the basic science and
preclinical technique courses with patient treatment in
operative dentistry, oral diagnosis, and removable
prosthetics. Third year: In addition to oral diagnosis,
students learn clinical patient treatment in operative
dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and
orthodontics. Fourth year: This year focuses on total
patient dental care in general surgery. Elective opportunities are available in all departments.
Unique Programs
