Overview
Your training at Boston University will start with strong academic preparation in the basic, medical, and behavioral sciences—the well-integrated knowledge base you’ll need to evaluate and treat patients. At the same time, service learning and chair-side assisting will give you early exposure to patient-centered activities.
Features
The Dental Medicine (DMD) program's hands-on opportunities begin with intensive preclinical simulations and immersion in laboratory techniques. Then, for real-world clinical experience, you’ll be assigned to a mentorship team. This small group of students will function as a group dental practice, led by a faculty mentor who will coach you in every aspect of managing your mini-practice.
Our approach to clinical care is comprehensive and holistic, emphasizing oral health care in the context of the patient’s overall dental and general health. Combined with our mentorship model, this approach results in high-quality, faculty-guided student care.
