Care and Community. 2024 Summer Mini-Med Dental Rotation at TUSDM.
Throughout June and July 2024, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM) hosted the Mini-Med School Pre-College Summer Program’s Dental Rotation. The Mini-Med School experience was founded in collaboration with the Center for Science Education at the School of Medicine and is administered through Tufts University College. This summer, the dental rotation expanded since its inception in 2023 to inspire approximately 300 high school students to pursue dental medicine. Students enjoyed having hands-on experience suturing bananas, making Impressions, restoring a class I preparation, and learning about Oral Health. The experiences were developed and instructed by TUSDM’s very own dental students, as they served as teaching assistants for the rotation. TUSDM’s Office of Admissions helped to support the Dental Rotations, by providing information on the application and admissions process, and several faculty members spoke with the participants about their professional and personal journey. Thank you to everyone who made this experience a success!
