College of Dental Medicine

The College of Dental Medicine is located on the Portland Campus and grants the Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. 
 
The educational experience at the College includes recruitment of compassionate students who demonstrate a commitment to leadership, social responsibility, and professionalism. Students are treated as professional colleagues and supported in a learner-centered environment grounded in trust, collegiality, and high ethical standards. They will benefit from a comprehensive education in the basic and behavioral sciences, and they will understand and appreciate the many connections between oral health and overall health. What鈥檚 more, students will enjoy extensive practical experience, from providing care to a simulated patient in their first year; to providing direct patient care in patient-centered general practice teams in our Oral Health Center during their second and third years; to extending their clinical experience into community-based clinics during their fourth year. The College of Dental Medicine shares 成人直播's global initiatives and philosophy to strengthen our students' competencies in the global economy and prepare them to work successfully in a demographically changing United States by embedding their education and training in a variety of diverse cultural environments. International practice and research opportunities allow our students to find common solutions to diverse access to care issues. 

In addition, integrated throughout their four-year curriculum, students will gain clinical service experiences that cover the life span of individuals and a variety of uninsured and underserved populations.  Such opportunities include prevention programs that focus on the prevention of early childhood caries; working with primary care offices that integrate oral health into their practices; school-based programs; oral assessments with the developmentally disabled; dental services at homeless shelters; and basic screenings and prevention services for the elderly at long-term care facilities.  Communication skills that are culturally and age appropriate are stressed early on in the community-based experiences.  These activities are specifically aimed to prepare new graduates with the skill sets needed to address access to dental care for out most vulnerable populations.

Our students will learn how to access and evaluate information, including the very latest scientific research, as well as how to intelligently use that information to provide the finest care to their patients. Classroom and clinical experiences will expose students to the latest innovations in dental practice, including the appropriate use of modern technology. The college will provide ample opportunities for the dental students to learn and work with students of other health professions at 成人直播 in an interprofessional environment. Through this collaboration, our students will grow to appreciate the role that each profession can play in delivering high-quality, comprehensive care to their patients. Students will also learn communication and leadership skills, and our curriculum will expose them to the business side of health care practice. In addition, students will become knowledgeable about the many issues related to access to care, health policy, and public health while in the program.

Ultimately, our graduates will be ethical, caring, competent oral health care providers who will continue to learn and develop new skills throughout their professional careers. They will also appreciate the importance of balance in their lives and will serve as leaders in their families, their communities, and beyond.
