CurriculumThe Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine predoctoral curriculum
provides a comprehensive learning model, which includes an
integrated biomedical education, early entry to clinical patient care,
research opportunities and community service learning. Education in
the basic, behavioral and clinical sciences emphasizes development of
critical thinking skills leading to excellence in the practice of dentistry.
Predoctoral dental students are integrated with medical school colleagues
in the basic science curriculum of years 1 and 2. In addition, preclinical
training begins in year 1, leading to early patient care delivery at the end
of that year followed by extensive, patient-centered experiences in years
2, 3 and 4. Students engage in local, regional, and global community outreach
programs (e.g., through the U.S. Indian Health Service, and in Chile,
Madagascar and Kenya). Research experience is encouraged and provided
as early as the summer prior to matriculation.
