MissionThe school is an oral health care center of excellence serving the people of the state of Washington
and the Pacific Northwest. Our primary mission, through educational, research and service programs,
is to prepare students to be competent oral health care professionals. The school’s research programs
contribute to the fundamental understanding of biologic processes and to the behavioral, biomedical
and clinical aspects of oral health. The service mission is to improve the health and well-being of the
people of the community and the region through outreach programs that are especially attentive
to minority and underserved populations. The school values diversity in its students, staff, faculty
and patient populations. It seeks to foster an environment of mutual respect where objectivity,
imaginative inquiry and the free exchange of ideas can flourish to facilitate personal development,
professionalism and a strong sense of self-worth.
