Overview
Career-oriented applications of knowledge, theory, and experience are an integral part of the curriculum, including biostatistics, epidemiology, research methods, dental healthcare management, and finance. A project or practicum of the student’s choice is a significant part of the program, because learning by experience teaches additional skills important in career settings. Projects of the Dental Public Health program offered by Boston University may include survey design and analysis; educational program development; community program planning, implementation, and evaluation; media development; and marketing/public relations.
