| Curriculum | The major emphasis of the dental curriculum is to train practitioners of general dentistry to provide total health care. This training is accomplished by employing a systems approach to a problem-oriented curriculum. Clinical experience begins in the second year, and a team approach to patient care is used on a limited basis through all four years. A team comprises one student from each class. Basic science and clinical science courses are integrated. Off-campus clinical experiences begin in the first year with a one-week community project somewhere in the state. These continue throughout the four years. All clinical faculty are evaluated yearly by the third and fourth year students, and all courses are evaluated on a four-year cycle. Student learning laboratories, including a patient-simulation suite, are utilized by all classes. |
