CurriculumIntegrated learning experiences provide the student with the ability to
ultimately deliver the highest level of oral health care. Year 1 starts with
biomedical science courses and an introduction to general dentistry. It
continues with simulated dental experiences and culminates with APEX, an
internship experience in a dental practice. Year 2 continues with biomedical
and behavioral sciences, simulated dental experiences and clinical sciences.
Emphasis is on integrating biomedical and behavioral sciences with clinical
sciences. Years 3 and 4 focus on comprehensive patient care. Faculty
mentors oversee clinical activities of students in a group practice model.
A 10-week externship experience in Year 4 serves as a capstone activity
that fosters students’ development into independent clinical practitioners.
