The PACE Center's Practice Consulting Team has new leadership and seven seasoned dental professionals eager to help dental and dental hygiene students transition safely into the "real" world.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Chair and Professor Mark E. Wong, DDS, is among four winners of President's Scholar Awards for 2018. At the awards ceremony in January, Wong was described as "an innovator, a creator of unique clinical programs, a model of compassionate care ... and recognized by his peers both at home and on the international stage."
After a successful debut in 2018, UTHealth School of Dentistry's Academic Health Careers Fellowship Program will return in the spring to offer health care practitioners a close-up look at life as educators.
Our dental school has served Southeast Texas since 1905, providing a broad range of services, from fillings to reconstructive surgery. Patients are cared for by students and residents under faculty supervision.
Each year, we enroll 100 DDS and 40 dental hygiene students. UTSD students gain clinical skills at on-site clinics, hospitals, and through community outreach projects. Advanced and continuing education programs are offered as well.
UTSD excels in several areas of research, including the biomedical and clinical sciences, education, dental informatics, and much more. Our research programs benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and world-renowned faculty.
