CurriculumOverall, along with early and extensive clinical experiences, the program
will utilize various methods of teaching and learning (e.g., lectures, small
group sessions, online courses, self-directed learning, etc.) to deliver curriculum
grounded in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Because
the University of New England College of Dental Medicine considers the
students as members of the profession from day one, the school focuses
particular attention on professionalism and ethics throughout the program.
Learning objectives focus on the knowledge, skills and values necessary
to provide culturally competent, comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Throughout its duration, the program emphasizes reinforcing the linkages
between basic, behavioral and clinical sciences and the clinical practice of
dentistry, including principles of community and public health. The D.M.D.
program will provide dental students with an extensive clinical education
in the university’s main dental clinic, as well as in a network of communitybased
clinics and practices.
Students will begin their clinical experiences by treating “patients” in the
state-of-the-art simulation clinic. These simulated patients will present
with electronic patient records and digital images. Students will learn to
evaluate health histories and develop and implement comprehensive
treatment plans on a variety of simulated patients. Students will work in
teams to learn and practice hands-on diagnosis and assessment skills on
each other in the newly constructed comprehensive care clinic.
It is anticipated that students will:
• Begin to provide care to clinical patients in the latter part of the
second year;
• Further develop their clinical knowledge and skills through the third
year in the campus teaching clinic; and
• Spend the majority of time in the fourth year providing oral health
care in community-based clinics and practices throughout northern
New England.
Faculty-led group practices will include student “associates” from each of
the four years of the program. Students will also participate in electives
and research.
