Programs and Admissions

Our faculty and staff are committed to providing an exemplary learning experience for students in a nurturing and caring environment. The OHSU mission areas of patient care, education, research and public service are all reflected in the School of Dentistry’s curriculum. Because OHSU educates health care providers in many disciplines, including medicine, nursing and pharmacy, you will learn dentistry in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that provides the best possible real-world learning experience and the most efficient and effective patient care.

We have a proud tradition of clinical excellence at OHSU, and it continues in our state-of-the-art facility in Portland’s South Waterfront. The Robertson Collaborative Life Sciences Building houses both the School of Dentistry and its patient clinics, providing sweeping views of the city and an unmatched setting for education, research and exemplary oral health care.
