University of Sydney Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD)
The Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) has been purposefully designed to adhere to the well-rounded course structure of the North American postgraduate dental school model, but has also maintained the sophisticated clinical training for which the University of Sydney has come to be renowned, giving students an applicable knowledge of dental health from the community to the laboratory.
Sydney Dental School is about comprehensive learning, and embracing all the aspects of becoming a successful dentist. Sub-units integrate academic disciplines such as endodontics and orthodontics with the requisite training needed to evolve dental health knowledge into the highly specialized skills of a dental health professional.
Students seeking to pursue careers beyond simply practicing dentistry can learn about their options from the members of the several research initiatives housed in Sydney’s Faculty of Dentistry including the “Cellular Molecular Pathology Research Unit,” the “Jaw Function and Orofacial Pain Research Unit,” and the world’s oldest-named dental institute, Sydney’s own “Institute of Dental Research.”
