Combined Degree and Specialty Programs
D.M.D./Ph.D. Program
The University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine (SDM) offers
an integrated dental and graduate research training program culminating
in the awarding of both a D.M.D. and a Ph.D.in Biomedical Science. Our
objective is to offer a program that produces highly qualified clinical
scholars competent as both clinicians and as independent scientists able
to initiate and maintain funded research programs. The presence of these
clinical scholars will improve and enhance the quality of teaching and
research in the nation's dental schools. In addition, we will continue
to provide a program that is tailored to each individual trainee while
maintaining a focus in the oral biological sciences through seminars,
courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research
activities. In that regard, our training program will continue to be
multidisciplinary in scope and composition. The mix of clinical programs
and research opportunities provides a dynamic and stimulating training
environment in which the clinical scholars come to appreciate the
overall inter-relationships of biomedical science and clinical
dentistry.
