ONGOING ACTIVITIES

  • Creation of a new model for Predoctoral General dentistry laboratory work that will increase the use of digital technologies and decrease costs.

DEI FOCUS


Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging were considered throughout the BlueRenew building renovation by developing an environment where all our students, staff, faculty, and patients feel welcomed and feel a sense of belonging. A course for non-US trained dentists interested in applying for US DDS/DMD degree programs fosters inclusion by providing the necessary tools to have a better chance of acceptance in a US dental school.
