CurriculumNYUCD’s educational philosophy is based upon the conviction that real
life is not the rote repetition of information; rather, it is the application of
knowledge to solve problems associated with disease. Thus, NYUCD has
initiated a hands-on approach early in the learning process in combination
with a rigorous program that requires critical thinking and problem-solving.
NYUCD’s four-year curriculum is fully integrated and does not teach along
traditional departmental structure. The biomedical sciences are taught in
three segments over the first three years. The clinical sciences emphasize
general dentistry and are also fully integrated. Education is broad in scope,
yet focused and applied to real-world problems and issues. Patient contact
begins in the first year, and students earn patient care privileges through
achievement.
Student research opportunities: NYUCD has a vital program of dental student
research. Dental students may be introduced to research at an early stage
in their careers—inspiring them and helping them see that research can
be an exciting and fulfilling career trajectory. Their first opportunity to
participate in the research program at NYUCD is for eight weeks during
the summer before they begin their studies. Participants in the summer
program work with faculty mentors on their research studies full time and
attend seminars three times a week. At the end of the eight weeks, the
students present posters describing the studies on which they worked.
The Honors in Research Program is designed to provide dental students
with the opportunity to participate in a research project from their D1
to D4 years. Thus, D.D.S. students have an opportunity to gain research
experience at NYUCD.
