Program Structure IDP pathway is divided into two years(ID3-ID4 years) and operationalizedon an academic quarter system. Students begin in the Summerquarter and complete four quarters ofstudy (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) inthe first year. ID4 year is also divided into fourquarters of study.
Our curriculum is comprisedof 5 streams
1. Biomedical Sciences
The Biomedical Sciences (BMS) streamincorporates the basic sciencedisciplines that form the coreknowledge for understanding humanhealth and disease.It includes a course providing scientificbackground on oral pathology that leadto understanding diseases and theirdiagnostic significance in dentistry.BMS course accounts for 2% of programcredit for the IDP pathway.

2. Dental Sciences
The Dental Sciences (DentSci) stream includesspecifically oral-related disciplines. Studentsmaster the knowledge needed for dentaldiagnoses, understanding the development ofdental tissues, and learning the occurrences andprogression of dental diseases.The stream emphasizes the application of scientificunderstanding to dental problems.DentSci courses account for 3% of program creditfor the two-year IDP pathway.

The Scientific Methods in Clinical Dentistry (SciMeth)stream provides reasoning tools to students in anorganized fashion so that they understand research and itssignificance to practice. Students learn skills to analyzeand solve problems related to the practice of dentistry.It includes developing the ability to explore the dentalliterature, analyze evidence and apply new knowledge sothat graduates are equipped to grow with the changinglandscape of the profession over their working lives.The information presented in this stream is reinforcedthroughout the curriculum via case-based learningstrategies. SciMeth course accounts for 2% of programcredit for the two-year IDP pathway.

4. Preventive & Restorative DentalSciences
The Preventive and Restorative Dentistry(PRDS) stream incorporates preclinical coursesin a seamless presentation of material in orderto develop the skills necessary to provide thehighest quality of dental care.The stream makes use of the high-techlaboratory learning environment wherestudents treat simulated patients who presentwith a variety of treatment needs.PRDS courses account for 13% of programcredit for the two-year IDP pathway.

5. Patient Centered Care
The Patient Centered Care (PCC) stream begins the clinical education by providingsimple treatment under close faculty support and supervision. Gradually thestudents are supported and guided to take on more complex tasks, and developtheir clinical reasoning and independence treating the diverse patients, from acrossall stages of life, who come to the UCSF SOD Dental Center at Buchanan Street.PCC courses account for 80% of program creditfor the two-year IDP pathway.

Practice TeamsStudents are assigned to apractice team where they workclosely with faculty and staff toprovide the highest quality ofcare to our patients.Students get to work with andlearn from their upperclassmen.
SOD curriculum streams and courses facilitate an integrated curriculumthat provides students with sufficient opportunity and experience todevelop and gain competence in all areas that UCSF SOD has defined asrelevant to the practice of general dentistry:“A general dentist is an oral health care provider who canevaluate, diagnose, prevent, and treat diseases and conditions ofthe oral cavity. A UCSF School of Dentistry graduate is a noviceprovider who is able to provide safe and effective treatment to theextent of their training and has the judgment to know when torefer”.
Clinical Rotations
Clinical RotationsRotations include all specialtiesof dentistry: hodonticsOral & Maxillofacial SurgeryOral medicine
Electives
Electives Students are encouraged to take fulladvantage of elective study opportunities When it comes to graduation and writingyour Dean’s Letter of Recommendationelectives are an important way for you totell YOUR dental story Some are interprofessional and studied bydental, medical, pharmacy, and nursingstudents Electives are formal study - i.e. requireacademic credit and are shown on yourtranscript
