CurriculumThe philosophy of education at HSDM is that dentistry is a specialty of
medicine. In keeping with this belief, medical and dental students study
together in the New Pathway curriculum at Harvard Medical School during
the first two years. Dental clinical instruction occurs in treatment teams
that utilize a comprehensive approach to patient care. Both didactic and
clinical courses are taught by problem-based method of study and discussion
in small tutorial groups. In this approach, cases based on actual clinical
records or investigative problems are utilized to set the learning objectives.
Students learn critical thinking and problem-solving techniques that will
equip them for lifelong learning in the field of dental medicine. Students
also take courses in research and complete a research project, thesis and
formal presentation over the course of the four-year training period.
