About the School
The generation of new knowledge through research is an integral and highly-valued activity at Columbia University's College of Dental Medicine. The school's history is rich with significant connections to the evolution of modern dental research - both the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) and the Journal of Dental Research were founded by CDM faculty member Dr. William Gies - and this tradition has been reflected in the student research program. The strength and constancy of the dental student research tradition at CDM is demonstrated by the 50 year history of the William Jarvie Research Honor Society (the dental student research group) and the Birnberg Student Research Day, both established at Columbia in the 1950's and continuing vigorously to this day. The school continues to be a supportive environment for student participation in the exciting discoveries of biomedical research both at the University and beyond.
Curriculum
Many departments of the University contribute to and collaborate in the education of dental and postdoctoral students, assuring them a broad foundation for sound professional development. The guiding educational policy of Columbia University is the pursuit of excellence, and the primary goal of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery is the preparation of graduates equipped to fulfill their obligations to the individual, to society, and to the profession. The School, recognizing the need for greater emphasis on the prevention of dental disease, constantly strives to revise the academic program. The curriculum is designed to increase a student's appreciation for the conceptual basis of dentistry. Adequate preparation for the demands of dentistry requires an understanding of broad biological principles integrated with a continually evolving body of scientific information in clinical dentistry and basic dental research. Predoctoral students, as directed observers, are exposed to a full spectrum of dental problems. They are then introduced to surgical and manipulative procedures as well as to methods of diagnosis and the prevention of disease. Emphasis is on the close relationship between health and disease, both systemic and oral; on diseases of the face and mouth that may affect other organ systems; and on oral health as an essential component in total health.
