亚瑟A. 杜戈尼牙科学院 is the only dental school in the United States with a decades-long track record of offering a year-round, 加速三年DDS计划. Our graduates develop the tools they need to adapt to an ever-changing world, where new skills and knowledge will be required to keep pace with advancing technology and the challenges faced by an increasingly diverse population. The outstanding clinical training our students receive has earned the Dugoni School national prominence, but technical instruction is just one part of what makes our school unique.
Our DDS program is built around a humanistic model of instruction that stresses the dignity of each individual and his or her value as a person. 学生从第一天起就被称为“医生”, 学校还鼓励教师充当导师, 不仅仅是教师. 反过来, students are expected to take responsibility for their instruction and practice the professionalism that will be required of them when caring for patients.
Other school hallmarks include the innovative Pacific 牙科 Helix Curriculum, which places a strong focus on active learning and critical thinking by integrating multiple disciplinary areas using small-group, 基于案例的学习. We closely link foundational knowledge to clinical practice. From our state-of-the-art preclinical Simulation Laboratory to our small-group private practice model in the clinics, students learn what it takes to become "practice-ready" dental professionals trained for a rewarding career.
