Profile:

Founded in 1945, The University of Alabama School of Dentistry at Birmingham offers a D.M.D program, as well as accredited postdoctoral programs in twelve areas of study.

The first two years of UAB's D.M.D. program concentrate on building skills in the basic sciences. The school offers a "PreClinical" program to ensure its students have the science foundation needed for success in actual clinical experience. Students attend clinical science courses throughout the four-year program. Clinical practice is offered during the first year on a limited basis. Patient management courses are introduced during the second year.

The final two years of the UAB curriculum immerses students in actual clinical experience with patients at the school clinics. This comprehensive program provides first-hand experience in every aspect of patient care from diagnosis to treatment planning. Students in their final year have the opportunity to observe practicing dentists throughout Alabama.
