The new operatory environment supports preclinical simulation learning and patient care. Incorporating streaming video and simulation helps students to maximize performance before they interact with patients. Preclinical students will work alongside clinical students and postgraduates and train in the same environment where they will practice. Integrating dental and medical records with unprecedented data streams from our state-of-the-art clinic enables faculty to harness the promise of genomics, bioinformatics and personalized medicine to push the boundaries of dental research. This more efficient clinical space enhances understanding of patient needs, provides tools for the most informed decision-making, reduces costs and improves outcomes for patients.
