CurriculumRutgers School of Dental Medicine is a publicly supported institution.
Its mission is to promote professional standards of excellence among its
students, faculty and staff, while meeting the health needs of New Jersey
citizens through the coordination of education, research and service. The
goal of the dental curriculum is to prepare competent general practitioners,
who are able to manage the oral health care of the public. The curriculum
also provides a foundation for graduates who seek advanced training in the
dental specialties, biomedical research and/or dental education. To accomplish
our mission, graduates must understand the interrelationship of the
biological, physical, clinical, and behavioral sciences to effectively practice
three overlapping areas of professional responsibility: 1) comprehensive
patient care; 2) participation in community dental-health programs; and
3) continuation of professional development.
