MissionThe School of Dental Medicine supports the missions of its academic health center and its university
through programs in education, patient care and research, which benefit both public and professional
constituencies at all levels. As Connecticut’s only public school of dentistry, the School of Dental Medicine
is committed to providing predoctoral educational opportunities for qualified applicants who
desire to become broadly competent general practitioners of dental medicine, capable of providing
for most of the oral health care needs of the state’s citizens. The school actively assists its students in
achieving their career goals by creating a collegial environment in which academic excellence and
the pursuit of scholarship enhance the quality of instruction, advance the understanding of human
biology and pathology, and raise the standards of oral health.

CurriculumThe curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive
educational experience that allows them to master the knowledge and
requisite skills associated with the practice of general dentistry. The goals
of the program are to help students gain an understanding of human
biology and the behavioral sciences, and to develop their competency in
all aspects of clinical dentistry. During the first two years, dental students
follow an integrated course of study in the basic sciences along with the
medical students. The third- and fourth-year clinical program extends
for 22 months and emphasizes comprehensive care, prevention and the
emerging epidemiologic patterns of dental diseases. Students are evaluated
through written and practical examinations in the medical, dental,
and clinical sciences, and through observation of students’ development in
patient oral health care delivery. The grading system is on a pass/fail basis.
