Academics
4-year. The traditional basic sciences are taught predominantly in year 1, with the remainder taught in
year 2. The faculty of the school is committed to integrating biomedical, behavioral, and clinical science
instruction, in order to achieve a curriculum that
instills an appreciation for all disciplines. Courses in
oral biology are woven throughout the curriculum and
serve as a bridge between the biomedical sciences and
clinical dentistry. Students are introduced to the clinic
in year 1, and are permitted to start treating patients in
year 2. Clinic instruction in years 2 and 3 is a combination of discipline-based and comprehensive care
formats. The year 4 General Practice Program is a
comprehensive care clinic supported by a faculty of
general dentists, with students being supervised by
specialists where needed due to the complexity of the
case at hand. The importance of research and scholarly activity is emphasized throughout the program.
Unique Programs
Due to the small class size of 40, students attending the
school are educated in a highly supportive environment. Academic tutoring, faculty counseling, and
individually developed remedial programs are avilable
to students under special circumstances, as determined
by faculty. Opportunities in patient care, research, outreach, and extracurricular leadership roles are abundant.
Consistent with the school policy of selecting students
with varied backgrounds, the school encourages applications from qualified individuals from those groups
which have in the past been previously underrepresented in the dental profession.
