In partnership with Penn Nursing, students can earn a Master of Science in nutrition science along with a Doctor of Medicine in dentistry.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
