University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry

Detroit Mercy Dental provides a dynamic interdisciplinary health care system, both didactic and clinical experiences explore practice in a variety of settings and with culturally diverse patients of all ages and health status.  An environment of mutual trust and respect increases the opportunity for instructor evaluation of student performance and improves the quality of feedback.  Student self-evaluation is required as a step towards becoming a practitioner who continually appraises the quality of their patient care.  The student advising system and remediation program allows for individualization of the curriculum and promotes intellectual growth.  A challenging, collegiate atmosphere fosters development of dental hygienists who are intellectually curious, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. http://dental.udmercy.edu/programs/hygiene/index.php
