The Texas Tech University Health Science Center El Paso Hunt School of Dental Medicine welcomed its first 40 matriculated students to the newest dental school in the West Texas region.

According to the Senior Director of Admissions and Recruitment, Cyd Goldfarb, M.Ed., notable statistics about the inaugural class are:

• 5% of the class are from border areas and West Texas
• The class is comprised of 21 different universities
• 40% of the class are from underrepresented groups
• The class meets the average GPA and DAT score in Texas

 

What makes the Hunt SDM so attractive? Its initiative to provide students with hands-on experience earlier than most dental schools among other reasons.

Opinion: New Dental School, Student Clinic ‘a Big Deal’

 

The oral health clinic not only has the latest technology, but it also gives students the opportunity to serve in a region where dental care is difficult to access.
