| Mission | The primary goal of the LECOM School of Dental Medicine is to prepare dental professionals committed to providing high-quality, ethical, empathetic and patient-centered care to serve the needs of a diverse population. Through the integration of scientific knowledge, critical thinking, and effective communication skills and an emphasis on best practices in technology use, we will prepare future dentists to be quality caregivers and strong advocates and leaders in their communities, professional associations and research activities. |

| Curriculum | Through a unique and innovative curriculum, the School of Dental Medicine prepares students for the practice of general dentistry, specifically for underserved communities. LECOM’s evidence-based, quality dental education program will train students to provide patient-centered care and optimal therapeutic and economic outcomes; promote disease prevention; and enhance patient and provider education. LECOM offers the Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree through a full-time, four-year pathway at the Bradenton campus. The curriculum consists of two years of basic science and preclinical instruction delivered through case-based, small-group Problem-Based Learning (PBL) sessions, as well as lectures, laboratories and clinical experiences. Years three and four are primarily hands-on, clinical experiences. PBL courses will integrate medical and dental students. Other unique components of the curriculum include faculty-directed self-study of gross anatomy; early exposure to dentistry in the first year by working as dental assistants in local primary care dental clinics; direct comprehensive patient care in the first year (fabrication of full maxillary and mandibular removable prosthesis); a patient-based simulation clinic; and the entire fourth year devoted to primary care clinics in underserved areas of Florida and Erie, Pennsylvania. Faculty members will assess the professional competencies students gain through the program. These competencies empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively in interprofessional, interdisciplinary, and multicultural environments. |
