School of Dentistry − Educating Future Leaders in Dental Care and Dental Research

the Director, AZUMA Miyuki

Tokyo Medical and Dental University School of Dentistry is a leader in quality dental education in Japan encompassing both basic and clinical dentistry, and features experienced teaching staff and well-equipped facilities. In order to gain experience in comprehensive patient care, students are required to treat patients for approximately a year during years 5 and 6 of the university program. The Medicine/Dentistry Integrated Undergraduate Curriculum has been established to meet the accelerating demand for multidisciplinary care of medically compromised dental patients. In addition, there is the Research Project, which is designed to cultivate the spirit of inquiry in our future dentists. International exchange activities with our affiliated overseas universities enable us to expand our vision and broaden our horizons to meet the demands of a globalizing world. Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented the hybrid curriculum (Combination of the in-person and remote classes) and On-line International Students exchange programs. Our goal is not only to provide knowledge and skills essential to being a dentist, but also to create global leaders in dentistry who possess a sense of humanity and mission.
