Courses

The veterinary dentistry curriculum for DVM-students offered at UC
Davis has three components: (1) a 2.4-unit (24-hour) didactic lecture
course; (2) three 4-hour practical sessions;
and (3) a 2-week clinical rotation. All three
components are part of the elective curriculum. In addition, the VSR407R course is offered to the residents. It consists of weekly 2-hour reviews of the current literature pertaining to comparative oral biology, surgery and medicine, and related basic sciences; half of the sessions are based on topics assigned by the Residency Director, while the other half consist of critical reviews of recent papers chosen by the participants.

The didactic lecture course is taught in a traditional lecture room
