Sie ist auf dem Campus der Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI) angesiedelt, einem von acht Standorten des IU-Systems. Neben der zahnmedizinischen Fakult\u00e4t beherbergt der IU-Campus in Indianapolis auch die weltbekannte IU Medical School und das akademische Gesundheitszentrum IU Health. Die Fakult\u00e4t der zahnmedizinischen Fakult\u00e4t unterh\u00e4lt enge Kooperationsbeziehungen zu \u00c4rzten und Wissenschaftlern in den Einrichtungen des medizinischen Zentrums. Die IUSD ist eine der \u00e4ltesten zahnmedizinischen Fakult\u00e4ten in den USA. Sie wurde 1879 als \u201eIndiana Dental College\u201c gegr\u00fcndet und 1925 von der Indiana University \u00fcbernommen. Im Jahr 1933 bezog die zahnmedizinische Fakult\u00e4t ein neues Geb\u00e4ude am heutigen Standort. Heute besteht die Fakult\u00e4t aus dem urspr\u00fcnglichen Geb\u00e4ude sowie zwei gro\u00dfen Anbauten \u2013 der erste Anbau wurde 1962 eingeweiht, der zweite ein Jahrzehnt sp\u00e4ter. Ein hochmoderner dritter Anbau, das James Fritts Clinical Care Center, befindet sich derzeit im Bau und soll Anfang 2018 fertiggestellt und er\u00f6ffnet werden.\nDie Indiana University School of Dentistry verfolgt weiterhin einen innovativen und zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfen Ansatz, um Zahnmediziner aller Fachrichtungen auszubilden, die auf das einzigartige Praxisumfeld von heute und morgen vorbereitet sind. Die IU School of Dentistry z\u00e4hlt derzeit mehr als 12.500 Absolventen, die in den gesamten Vereinigten Staaten und in mehr als 30 weiteren L\u00e4ndern beruflich t\u00e4tig sind. Die Fakult\u00e4t verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber mehr als 280 Lehrkr\u00e4fte, die zu den Lehr-, Forschungs- und Dienstleistungsprogrammen der IUSD beitragen. Neben der zahnmedizinischen Fakult\u00e4t werden Leistungen in mehreren anderen Patientenversorgungseinrichtungen erbracht, darunter die Klinik f\u00fcr Kinderzahnheilkunde am Riley Outpatient Center, das Teil des renommierten Riley Hospital for Children der IU ist; die Kliniken f\u00fcr Oralchirurgie am University Hospital sowie der Zugang zu drei Traumazentren der Stufe 1 im Rahmen des OMFS-Programms. Das klinische Zahnmedizinprogramm an der IU z\u00e4hlt zu den st\u00e4rksten des Landes; es sch\u00f6pft seine St\u00e4rke aus einer Tradition exzellenter Ausbildung und st\u00fctzt sich auf einen Patientenstamm von mehr als 31.000 Patienten. Die Kliniken bieten zusammen j\u00e4hrlich mehr als 117.000 Termine f\u00fcr Patienten an."},{"acf_fc_layout":"highlight_people_3","title":"Lehrst\u00fchle des Stipendienzentrums","items":[{"image":7011,"position":"Scholarship Center Chair","name":"Dr. Dean Morton ","location":"Dept. of Prosthodontics "},{"image":7012,"position":"Scholarship Center Co-Chair","name":"Dr. Wei-Shao Lin","location":"Dept. of Prosthodontics "},{"image":7016,"position":"Scholarship Center Co-Chair","name":"Dr. Waldemar Polido","location":"Center for Implant, Esthetic and Innovative Dentistry"}],"cta":"","cta2":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"scholarship_activities_list","description":"","image":4311,"sub_sections":[{"acf_fc_layout":"list","title":"Clinical activities the ITI Scholar will participate in during the Scholarship year","description":"","items":[{"title":"Treatment planning sessions","available":true},{"title":"Performing oral hygiene procedures and maintenance","available":false},{"title":"Observing patient treatment","available":true},{"title":"Assisting in patient treatment","available":true},{"title":"Treating patients under faculty supervision: placing implants","available":true},{"title":"Treating patients under faculty supervision: restoring implants","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients alone: placing implants","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients alone: restoring implants","available":false},{"title":"Laboratory and procedures associated with treatment ","available":true}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"description","title":"Local regulations and special requirements the Scholar must fulfill to be able to participate in clinical activities and treat patients ","description":"The State of Indiana may provide limited licenses for appropriately credentialed candidates, allowing for the provision of clinical services under faculty supervision.
