Abstract
The goal of the program is to provide additional training to dental students. The predoctoral training consists of two components: (1) a combined Doctor of Dental Medicine/Master鈥檚 in Public Health (DMD/MPH) degree program through which dental students can earn an MPH degree in addition to the DMD, and (2) the Family First program, where second year dental students will learn to assess risk for certain oral diseases in underserved populations, supplemented by small group seminars on population health, cultural competency, health literacy, risk assessment, and oral-systemic health links.
