Penn Dental Medicine - A Journey of Innovation

Penn Dental Medicine, one of the University of Pennsylvania’s 12 schools, is a private, Ivy League institution with a history deeply rooted in forging precedents in dental education, research, and patient care. The School is committed to offering an education that advances both the art and science of dentistry, and prepares its students for leadership in the profession.


Since its founding, the dental education program has maintained its leadership role in dental education and research by preparing distinguished graduates capable of functioning in the many roles the profession demands: scientist, diagnostician, clinician, artist, engineer, teacher, and business manager.


Penn Dental Medicine achieves continued innovation in learning, teaching, and its educational environment by providing tools that empower students to better learn, retain, review, and assess knowledge; equipping instructors with educational technologies familiar to students to deliver knowledge, perfect skills, and challenge critical thinking; as well as creating an atmosphere that promotes technical support, content creation, and skill development.
