Early in the curriculum, students are introduced to basic sciences and preclinical dental sciences that provide an understanding of the human organism in health and disease. These courses offer the foundation for advancement into patient care, which is achieved largely in the last two years of the curriculum. Basic science instruction is offered by faculty from the College of Medicine and College of Dentistry, while dental course instruction is offered by faculty of the College of Dentistry with assistance from faculty of other colleges of the Health Science Center Memphis campus.
The purpose of the clinical component of the DDS curriculum is to prepare dental students for the practice of general dentistry. The clinical teaching program prepares graduates to diagnose, treatment plan, ethically manage and treat patients, at first with close faculty assistance and ultimately with an increasing degree of independent initiative and confidence. This involves the acquisition of basic and clinical science knowledge and development of pre-clinical surgical and technique skills, sound clinical judgment, good interpersonal relations, efficient management of time and resources and an acceptable level of technical proficiency. This approach is predicated on the concept that learning accompanies doing and, therefore, applied clinic practice is essential to acquire the various skills that are necessary for a successful general practice. Concurrently, application of knowledge offers opportunities for objective evaluation and assessment of the quality of the care provided to assigned patients.
