The goals of DMED 1 (Dental Medicine 1) are to introduce the first-year dental student to the fundamental biologic principles and processes that influence wellness and disease. Case-based scenarios will be used to ensure the depth of instruction is sufficient to ensure that the dental student: 1) understands the relationship between systemic health and oral health, 2) understands the importance of active participation in both early systemic disease identification and management, and 3) has the ability to develop individual patient-tailored strategies to safely manage the dental needs of the patient. Students will examine a variety of important contributors to health and disease. Successful completion of DMED 1 will be required to progress to the D2 year.
