CurriculumThe School of Dental Medicine combines rigorous classroom instruction
with innovative hands-on experience in a clinical setting. Students in the
first and second years train in state-of-the-art simulation clinics, balanced
with a mix of traditional classroom lectures and small group situations.
Third- and fourth-year students simulate private practice in module clinics
under close supervision of clinical faculty. Students are encouraged to
individualize their programs through elective courses in their third and
fourth years. Elective study may range from a minimum of two courses
to any number the student feels he or she can schedule comfortably. Additionally,
clinical practice and social perspectives are expanded through
elective study; the program provides opportunities for enrichment through
electives at off-campus sites.
