The UBC Faculty of Dentistry is dedicated to progressive dental education to prepare today's students for the changing oral health needs of the community. The Faculty embraces a hybrid-PBL curriculum emphasizing professionalism, student-centred learning and self-directed study. We encourage our students to apply what they learn in behavioural sciences to the clinical environment. The clinical aspects of our curriculum emphasize mentorship, demonstration of clinical procedures, and incremental achievement of competency in our patient-centred clinics. To help us accomplish these goals, we count on the contributions of general practitioners in our community who are generous enough to serve as part-time faculty members. Specialists are also required to serve as consultants in their areas of expertise.
