About
The College of Dentistry is one of 15 colleges and schools on the UIC campus and, in 2001, became the only dental school in the Chicago metropolitan area. It’s annual operating budget is in excess of $33 million, including approximately $11 in state appropriations, $10 million in clinic revenue, $9 million in funded research, and $3 million in continuing education program revenues.
Curriculum
Our Group Practice Clinical Education Model replicates the ?real world? of dental practice in the College clinical setting. Six vertically-integrated group dental practices, comprised of International Dentist Program students, fourth year and third year dental students, and second year dental hygiene students (from the Kennedy King Community College Program) are aligned with interdisciplinary teams of faculty lead by a “Managing Partner” and supported by dental assistants and front desk receptionists. Adult rehabilitative dentistry is provided to our patients in these group practice clinics. (Pediatric Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Radiology learning experiences are provided in discipline-specific clinic rotations.) The group practice clinics have been equipped with chairside computers to operate a computerized electronic patient record-keeping system. Contemporary instrument tray sterilization and dispensing systems support this “real world” clinical environment.
Facilities
Classroom facilities in the five story structure include two lecture halls, with a capacity of more than 100 seats per room, and three common seminar rooms, seating from 30 to 70 on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th floors. Teaching facilities are provided for a per class enrollment of 65 DDS students, eight highly recognized specialty certificate programs with varying capacities, and the M.S. in Oral Sciences, which is offered through the UIC Graduate College. Individualized specialization programs and the two-year International Dentists certificate program accommodate an additional 24 continuing education students per year. Through an affiliation with the City Colleges of Chicago (Kennedy-King College) facilities are also provided for a two-year dental hygiene program enrolling approximately 30 students per class.
