"Because of the structure of the curriculum, there is little dental training the first year. Second year is dedicated in large part to covering the didactic portion of dentistry, preparing for the boards and some beginning clinical skills."
"Class occurs in these societies each day in a flipped classroom style."
"HSDM also has a strong commitment to research and each student must complete a scholarly project before graduating."
