The Harvard School of Dental Medicine develops and fosters a community of global leaders dedicated to improving human health by integrating dentistry and medicine. These principles are at the core of our academic programs. The collaborative environment within the School, throughout the Longwood Medical Area, and across the University prepares students for leadership roles in dental education, practice, and research. The innovative curricula offer students many opportunities to work with faculty mentors who have extensive expertise in their specialties, and value their role as educators of the next generation of professionals in dental medicine and beyond.
