| Curriculum | The educational philosophy of the College of Dentistry is to provide opportunities for students to learn how to think in a problem-solving manner. The principal objective of the curriculum is to graduate a general practitioner who is professional, ethical, people-oriented, knowledgeable and skillful in delivering comprehensive patient care. The basic sciences are presented in carefully planned lecture/laboratory procedures by each department. However, selected segments of material have been combined into interdepartmental team teaching programs. Students are oriented to clinical activities in the first year, and delivery of patient care begins in the second year. Comprehensive, total patient care is delivered in individual student cubicles. Basic science and clinical science faculty members use a team approach to teaching in some general areas, such as growth and development, oral diagnosis and pain control. |
