Unique Programs
New Jersey Dental School is committed to offering
an academic environment where students can learn in
a culturally diverse setting so that they may develop
skills necessary to provide dental services in a culturally diverse world. Financial, personal, and professional counseling are available from on-campus
authorities, and tutorial assistance is provided to students in academic jeopardy. Students are encouraged
to participate in summer externships and research
opportunities to enhance their dental school curriculum. Many students volunteer their time to serve the
community at various elementary and secondary
school career days and health fairs and in geriatric outreach programs. Fourth-year students may be selected
to participate in the Community-Oriented Dental Education (CODE) program. These students are placed in
community-based sites where they provide oral health
care to patients in simulated private practice settings
with trained staff and under the supervision of faculty.
They utilize computer-based scheduling, analyze
expense/income, time/productivity and expense/productivity ratios, manage staff, control the appointment
book and inventory, and become involved in infection
control and hazard communication standards.
