Dental Public Health Selectives
A unique opportunity for dental students
​
The UCLA School of Dentistry offers two (2) Dental Public Health selective courses to a chosen number of students.
-
DPH Selective Part I consists of a series of presentations by professionals in the field.
-
DPH Selective Part II consists of an independent research project with a mentor.
Students who complete both selectives (Part I and Part II) are awarded the Pre-doctoral Dental Public Health Certificate upon completion of the requirements, which includes presenting their research projects to their peers and mentors at the annual Dental Public Health Day.
All students who are interested in the selective(s) should become a member of AAPHD@UCLA and apply for the selective(s) in the coming winter quarter.
Applications for Phase I are due January 15th, 2016.
