As a dynamic College, every day represents growth, change and a unique culture that is evident the moment you arrive on campus.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe College vision and mission are embraced by our exceptional faculty and staff, training students to conduct themselves with competence and integrity, personally committing to the patients\u2019 best interest.  Our modern educational facilities and clinics outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, focus on contemporary dental practice delivery by compassionate, well-prepared professionals, who communicate effectively with patients and the entire healthcare team.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"relative my-48 md:my-72\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"lg:flex px-12 lg:justify-center\">\n      \n      \n                  \n                  \n      <div class=\"w-full px-24 wysiwyg-content xl:w-10\/12 2xl:w-9\/12\">\n        <p>Our curriculum promotes learning while utilizing evidenced-based approaches and sound teaching principles with seamless transitions from the classroom (both virtual and live) to simulation, to patient care in CDM Clinical sites and finally to practice in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Our mission and vision demonstrate aspirations, which combined with a solid strategic plan, have helped us realize our goal to be a premier dental education program.\u00a0 Since our opening in 2009, we have made significant strides as a full-scope dental academic institution, providing a solid education, developing lines of research, and providing patient care in a unique, caring, and progressive environment.<\/p>\n<p>Our students, alumni and faculty have contributed greatly to improving the health of our community.\u00a0 Our focus on the community and improving health disparities has led to an increased diverse, practice-ready workforce, as our graduates choose to work in different spheres of dentistry (~40% of our graduates practice in medically underserved communities following their first year after graduation).\u00a0 To prepare our students for the external environment, we must provide a pre-doctoral program that prepares students beyond the \u201caverage\u201d dental school graduate and equip them with skills and attributes that extend beyond the clinical realm.<\/p>\n<p>Through concerted efforts with organizations such as First 5 LA, CDM provided over 52,000 oral health preventive and treatment services to approximately 22,880 pre-school aged children throughout the Los Angeles County region over a five-year period.\u00a0 Furthermore, federal initiatives through Health Resources &amp; Services Administration (HRSA) have led to expansion of oral health services in medically underserved communities (at least 1600+ hours senior year and 1400+ hours junior year during comprehensive clinical years), Federally Qualified Health Centers, and rural areas throughout the state of California. These federal initiatives have also resulted in increased: number of culturally and medically sensitive CDM dental students, diverse dental workforce, access to dental care for persons with medically complex conditions, integrated and interprofessional health care coordination, and health equity across all populations.\u00a0 It is through this collective impact that we can work toward decreasing health disparities, increase community and care coordination, and strive for excellence together.<\/p>\n<p>CDM has also built programs and service lines tackling other necessary initiatives, such as the Biopsies Save Lives program.\u00a0 Engaging in legislative changes and promoting state funding to impact our community outreach and student experiences has been integral to our success. We also partnered with foundations to support patient care services that would otherwise not be accessible to the patients in our community. These initiatives have allowed the college to provide over $700,000 in no cost or reduced-cost patient care.\u00a0 We desire to establish future strategic partnerships and alliances that will allow the college to build and sustain our presence in the community.\u00a0 Continuing to address health disparities and access to care will remain at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>CDM has identified and is implementing new models of education which will increase our clinical capacity.\u00a0 We will use the increased capacity to advance efficiency and effectiveness of the student learning experiences, thus leveraging the improved efficiency to reduce the time and cost of a WesternU dental education. The educational model includes varied simulation experiences that allow a student to build and attain competency.\u00a0 Students will experience increased and continuous clinical training in the new simulation center to further enhance their clinical competency and enable an increased competence in delivery of patient care. \u00a0This allows additional external community clinical experiences which will further impact our community nearby, far, and wide.\u00a0 CDM strives to continue to be regionally dominant, nationally prominent, and internationally recognized.\u00a0 Empowering tomorrow&#8217;s oral health leaders today!<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Andrews, DDS, MS<br \/>\nDean<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"relative my-48 md:my-72\" vue-app>\n  <div class=\"container\">\n        <app-accordion class=\"px-24 lg:w-4\/5 mx-auto\">\n              <app-accordion-item class=\"accordion-group block leading-1 opt-1\" content-class=\"accordion-group__panel wysiwyg-content\">\n          <template #accordion-trigger=\"{ href, visible, setRef, clickHandler }\">\n            <a :href=\"'#' + href\" \n              :ref=\"setRef\"\n              :class=\"['accordion-group__button scroll-mt-160', {'accordion__trigger_active': visible}]\"\n              @click.stop.prevent=\"clickHandler\"\n            >\n            <span class=\"block py-10\">\n              Vision\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"accordion-group-icon relative flex w-56 h-56 ml-20 justify-center items-center bg-black rounded-full flex-shrink-0\">\n                            <span class=\"w-16 icon-chevron-down\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!Font Awesome Free 6.6.0 by @fontawesome -

IPE occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team.
