CurriculumThe curriculum of the School of Dentistry is designed to develop practitioners
who are competent to enter the dental profession as lifelong learners
who may practice general dentistry or seek advanced and specialty
training. The first two years of the curriculum focus on the basic sciences
and preclinical techniques as well as strengthening professional values.
Students utilize the Simulation Clinic to gain experience in diagnosis and
preclinical procedures. The third- and fourth-year curricula are primarily
patient care augmented by continued education in all clinical disciplines.
Students deliver care to patients through a comprehensive general practice
clinic and through rotations, such as pediatric dentistry, oral surgery,
radiography, endodontics, special needs clinics, etc. An extramural experience
with dental practitioners improves students’ abilities to provide care
to racially, ethnically and culturally diverse groups. Extramural experience
may also include service through agencies such as the U.S. Public Health
Service and the Indian Health Service. Practice management education
and elective courses offered during the fourth year permit students to
explore many different aspects of the profession.
