There are 88 students enrolled in the first and second year classes with an additional 20 students enrolled in our two year Professional Program for International Dentists , included in the third and fourth year classes.

The foundational biomedical sciences and preclinical laboratory courses are taught primarily in the first two years of the curriculum with direct patient care beginning early in the second year.

The clinical curriculum is competency-based, focusing on patient-centered, comprehensive care with additional clinical experience provided in the form of rotations to specialty and community clinics.

In addition to our required curriculum, DDS students have abundant opportunities for individualized professional development through selective courses, and extracurricular experience in research, teaching, leadership, and community service. With a goal of improving access to care, and introducing student dentists to the idea of a career in providing care to underserved populations, we created our Community-Based Clinical Education program. This required 8-week rotation exposes fourth year students to a variety of real world dental practice models among a diverse community of patients.

University of California programs for professions that require licensure or certification are intended to prepare the student for California licensure and certification requirements. Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate.
