A Message from the Dean

The University of Florida College of Dentistry is working hard to enhance

the quality of Continuing Dental Education here at home and abroad. Our

flagship program in this effort is the 25 month Comprehensive Dentistry

Program. This two year AGD Mastership Track Preparation Course has

been offered successfully for 35 years and 382 dentists have completed

the program.

As exciting as this exemplary program is, however, it is you, the dental

professional, who drives our mission to achieve excellence in the art and

science of dentistry. You, as a principle-based, value-driven dental

professional, are the key to forging a committed dental community.

Our job, then, as your partner in professional development and life-long

learning is to provide a quality venue for this committed dental

community to come together. The Comprehensive Dentistry Program

provides that quality venue for the college

to bring together faculty, alumni, course participants and the dental community at large.

If we are successful in serving the dental community in this way, then we will have been successful in

advancing our mission of excellence through teaching, research and service.

Sincerely,

Isabel Garcia, D.D.S., M.P.H.

advancing human health and educating tomorrow’s leaders in the health professions.

The Health Center was developed to accommodate the space needs of the College of Dentistry as well as to

provide space for the other colleges and the hospital. The College of Dentistry includes the most modern

teaching laboratories, lecture areas and a modern comprehensive library. The educational and research

programs of the colleges are integrated with the programs of the Gainesville VA Medical Center.

The academic programs of the Health Center prepare students, interns, residents, and graduates in the health

professions to understand the team involvement in health care, which has proven to contribute more effectively

to patient’s well-being.

The J. Hillis Miller Health Center, while committed to the preparation of health care professionals, the care of

the sick, and the discovery of new health care science is also committed to community service. The colleges

engage in community programs that seek innovative approaches to health care delivery and provide

instructional continuing education to practitioners.

The College of Dentistry

The College of Dentistry, the first in the state of Florida, admitted its first 24 students in the fall of 1972. The

dental building was completed in the spring of 1975. It includes dental outpatient clinics, postgraduate specialty

clinics, seminar rooms, simulation lab, as well as teaching and research laboratories.

The College of Dentistry programs are both innovative and state of the art. They reflect the creativity and

professional talents of the faculty who are committed to educational processes which are relevant to society’s

needs.

The primary objective of the College of Dentistry is to develop graduates oriented to the biological sciences;

sensitivity to the needs of others; skillful in all preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; and

appreciative of new knowledge through research activities.

Dental educational institutions have an obligation to disseminate new knowledge related to dental practice. In so

doing, some presentations may include controversial materials or commercial references. Sponsorship of a

dental continuing education course by the University of Florida does not necessarily imply endorsement of a

particular philosophy, procedure or product by this institution. Continuing education courses do not necessarily

reflect the philosophies of the University of Florida pre-doctoral or graduate training programs.

The formal continuing education programs of UF CDE are accepted by AGD for Fellowship/Membership

credit. The University of Florida College of Dentistry is also an ADA CERP recognized provider.

The Florida Academy of General Dentistry

The Florida Academy of General Dentistry is a constituent of the Academy of General Dentistry. Their goals,

like those of the national academy are fourfold: to promote quality continuing dental education for general

practitioners; to maintain an accrediting agency for continuing dental education courses; to provide recognition

for practitioners having completed rigorous continuing education courses; and finally to assist in improving the

dental health of the nation through its educational and legislative efforts.

Membership in the Florida Academy is voluntary and participation in the Florida Academy activities greatly

helps to serve the organizational objectives as well as legislative efforts that have impact on the dental care

provided in the state.
