One of the biggest reasons dental students choose UIC is the level of collaboration we build into the student experience. A great example of this collaborative learning is the student led Peer Mentoring Program (PMP), part of ADEA at UIC.
UIC has a very strong ASDA chapter providing our students lots of ways to enrich professional training, network and get involved in organized dentistry. From serving in the community, leading volunteer-led health events, to presenting peers in national policy, our ASDA chapter are leading the way for dental students.
Why do dental students choose UIC? We offer an outstanding, innovative curriculum that patient centered, problem focused, and community driven. Our community is woven by a richly diverse fabric of cultural and professional backgrounds. We're located at the heart of a world-class medical education and research complex.
