The goals of DMED 2 (Dental Medicine 2) are to introduce the first-year dental student to commonly encountered diseases in dental practice. For each organ system discussed, an overview of normal organ function will be presented, followed by a discussion of the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, and management of selected diseases. Case-based scenarios will be used to ensure the depth of instruction is sufficient that the aspiring dental professional 1) understands the relationship between systemic health and oral health, 2) understands the importance of their 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. Successful completion of DMED 2 will be required to progress to the D2 year.
