Profile:
The Louisiana State University School of
Dentistry (LSUSD) offers a comprehensive DDS program,
as well as postgraduate dental offerings. The LSUSD
is one of six schools in the Louisiana State Medical
Center and is known for its excellent clinical and
research facilities.
The dental curriculum is noted for its flexibility
and skills integration. Students begin with an
immersion in the basic pre-clinical sciences and
gradually move towards targeted clinical experiences.
The fourth year concentrates completely on
comprehensive patient care and dental surgical
procedures. In addition, LSUSD students take
correlative courses that integrate all aspects of the
dental curriculum - from basic science skills to
practical application.
In addition to complete access to all the
resources offered by a major state university, LSU is
located in New Orleans, which offers endless
recreational and professional opportunities.
