Prevention & Public Health: News
- Welcome to the Division of Prevention and Public Health Sciences. Our faculty and staff are responsible for the planning and execution of community-based extramural experiences (both clinical and non-clinical) and public health coursework for the dental students.
- One of our goals is to prepare an oral health care workforce that is competent and committed to addressing the oral health needs of vulnerable and underserved populations and to play its part in eliminating health disparities. The COD engages all dental students in service-learning experiences in community-based settings in Chicago and other areas of Illinois. Through these experiences, students provide care to the underserved urban, rural, and special needs populations including children, developmentally disabled, HIV positive and geriatric patients.
- Thank you for visiting us. If you have any questions, please click the "Contacts" tab for a list of Division faculty and staff.
- Fondly,
-
