The focus of this session is integrating dental content into biomedical sciences. The purpose is to describe the curriculum integration process and share experiences of using the Dentally Relevant Integrated Learning Series (DRILS) at the University of New England College of Dental Medicine to better prepare students to apply biomedical science knowledge in clinical contexts. The seminar will describe the benefits and the process of integrating dental content into the biomedical curriculum, share examples of the DRILS, and discuss the challenges faced during the integration process. Attendees will be able to share and apply the concepts in their curriculum.
