| Curriculum | The program spans 45 months, with students in actual attendance 38 months. Four-week summer sessions between the second and third years and the third and fourth years are mandatory. The first year continues through the month of June. The basic science courses are taught in the first and second years through lectures, seminars and laboratory experiences. Clinical training begins with dental health education in community settings and dental assisting in the Main Clinic in the first year continuing through the second year. The third and fourth years emphasize the general practice of dentistry, and fourth-year students gain additional clinical skills in a hospital setting through a four-week externship. Much effort is made to integrate the basic and clinical sciences throughout the four-year program. Among the program highlights is an offering of more than 40 elective courses during the second, third and fourth years, a community service component, interdisciplinary dual degree programs, the option of an international externship during the fourth year and an honors program in clinical, community dentistry and research for eligible students. |
