The program is a full-time, continuous, 46-month cohort program consisting of 276 credit hours, not including electives, culminating in the receipt of the DMD degree. The curriculum includes eleven consecutive semesters of academic and clinical education. The program will admit only one cohort per year. The curriculum is arranged according to a classical 2 + 2 design with Biomedical and Pre-clinical Oral Health Sciences in the first two years, while Clinical and Behavioral Sciences occupy D3 and D4. In the D4 year, students are assigned to external dental practice rotations as part of CDM Community-Based Dental Education (CBDE) Program. In addition, students are engaged in Community Outreach activities during all four years.
