Overview
About the program
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine will be a driving educational force toward improving the health of the citizens of Nevada through innovative programs of oral healthcare services to the community, integrated biomedical and clinical curricula, and research.
The original intent of the UNLV-SDM’s mission was to offer foundation subject matter concurrently with clinical instruction; to this end, clinical presentations and discussions are included in biomedical courses (and vice versa).
Behavioral science topics are offered in the context of the clinical setting. The requirement for foundational knowledge in achieving clinical competency is recognized as the cornerstone of the curriculum.
