Course summary

This program is presented in a problem-based approach in which concepts are mastered through group discussion and analysis of real-patient cases. Courses are interdisciplinary, and small group tutorial sessions augment material from lectures, laboratories and independent study. The educational process is designed to encourage students to become responsible for their own learning and to develop the skills to become a competent lifelong learner. A Curriculum Map can be viewed with Adobe Acrobat and shows the sequencing of courses for currently enrolled students in Years 2, 3 and 4 of the DMD program. A similar map for students entering in 2006 and thereafter will be posted shortly.

Entry requirement for international students

The majority of applicants have a bachelor's degree at the time of enrollment at HSDM. At least three years of college study are required for matriculation into HSDM. Students who wish to apply for enrollment after three years of college may do so if their undergraduate school agrees to grant a bachelor's degree after successfully completing the first year of dental school. However, this happens rarely.Applicants who have been educated in universities outside the United States or Canada are required to complete at least one year of college and all the dental prerequisite courses in the U.S. or Canada.

Venue description

The first university-based dental school in the country, Harvard Dental School was founded in 1867. It was also the first to be established in close affiliation with a medical school (Harvard Medical School) and to make the full scholarly and scientific resources of a university available to dental education.In 1940, under President James B. Conant, the School was reorganized as Harvard School of Dental Medicine to place stronger emphasis on the biological basis of oral medicine and to institute multidisciplinary programs of dental research. A unique feature of the curriculum placed dental students in joint classes with medical students for two years of basic science and pathophysiology and for an introduction to clinical medicine on the wards of Harvard teaching hospitals and in community health centers.In 1957, the School of Dental Medicine was awarded National Institute of Dental Research training grant funding and began to expand and enhance its postdoctoral educational programs, combining advanced clinical and biomedical research training for dentists planning careers in academic dentistry. Several postdoctoral programs were developed under the leadership of former dean, Dr. Paul Goldhaber. These include a four-year Doctor of Medical Sciences in Oral Biology program; a five and six-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery/MD/General Surgery program; and a group of three and four-year, joint-degree programs combining advanced clinical training and research in health-care systems, health policy or biomedical sciences.
