[sumit]

Central to the unique educational experience offered by Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine is the APEX (Applied Professional Experience) program. Through this, students integrate classroom study with professional experiences in dental offices as dental interns working side-by-side with practicing dentists.


The APEX program provides an opportunity to experience dentistry in a true dental practice environment. By working alongside a practicing dentist, one has the opportunity to enhance the skills in such areas as communication, preventive dentistry, diagnosis, treatment planning, emergency care, patient management, and comprehensive care. One learns important concepts in practice management, including the application of business systems in a dental office and working closely with auxiliaries.


APEX Program Goals

To structure the APEX experiences so one enhance, integrate, support, and provide relevance to didactic and preclinical course materials

To provide an early understanding of the dental profession and to facilitate the transition from dental school to dental practice

To enhance self-confidence and improve communication skills by working in a professional atmosphere

To provide exposure to patient care before entering the clinic

To provide an opportunity to develop a mentoring relationship with a dental practitioner


Some advantages of the APEX Program

Enhance communication skills by interacting with patients on a daily basis.

The program exposes to an aspect of dentistry that cannot be taught in a classroom or clinic. Through role modelling and mentoring, the dental practitioners teach various approaches to the delivery of care, from the business management of a practice to proper biological, psychological, and dental management of a patient. With this direct application of learning, one’s education is enhanced and made more relevant.
