MissionOur mission is to promote optimal oral health in a culturally sensitive manner within the state,
national and international communities through education, research and service.
The SOD will:
1. Educate oral health professionals and researchers in a model health care facility where
students and clinicians:
• emulate the highest standards of patient-centered care and
• acquire the most advanced knowledge and skills to meet the changing needs of a
diverse patient population.
2. Conduct research in the sciences and encourage collaborative efforts for the discovery and
application of new knowledge with awareness of multiple environmental and social conditions;
and
3. Serve the university, the community and the profession through the sharing of knowledge,
participation in professional activities and the establishment of linkages:
• to promote innovation and
• to encourage and address diversity in research, education, patient care, and health policy.
Inherent in the mission is a dedication to stimulate the development of the faculty and staff and
to inspire students to develop attitudes and skills necessary for continued professional growth.
To pursue its mission, the SOD will foster and exemplify equity, diversity and multicultural values.

CurriculumThe general objectives of dental education are to accomplish the following:
1) Provide opportunities within a stimulating academic environment
for students to develop an appreciation for and understanding of
philosophical, social, and intellectual problems;
2) Strongly orient the student to study the physical and biological sciences
on which the practice of contemporary dentistry is based;
3) Offer opportunities and experiences enabling the student to develop
the essential clinical skills and critical thinking needed to provide the
highest quality oral health service to patients;
4) Foster the student’s appreciation for the value, design and methodology
of dental research;
5) Attain students’ conformity—in letter and spirit—to the principles of
ethics as an unquestioned part of professional life;
6) Encourage students to consider career possibilities in dental research,
dental education, dental leadership and alternative health care delivery
