Image UCSF School of Dentistry is broadening its Community Based Clinical Education program to third year learners for the first time during the 2024-25 school year. The program, which has deployed pre-doctoral students to externship sites around the U.S. for clinical training for more than two decades, partners with 16 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), Indian Health Centers and various medical centers from the Bay Area to Texas to Alaska. Traditionally, only fourth-year learners have gotten on-site experience in the diverse set of urban, suburban and rural areas totaling six weeks. Expanded externship experience will not only bridge the gaps in access to oral health care but also deliver additional clinical experience and help improve communication skills in a real-life setting.
