Seit ihrer Gr\u00fcndung spielt die Tufts Dental eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Entwicklung der zahnmedizinischen Versorgung und der zahnmedizinischen Ausbildung. Das Leitbild der Fakult\u00e4t lautet: \u201cAusbildung mit dem Ziel klinischer Exzellenz; Wissen zur Verbesserung der allgemeinen Mundgesundheit; F\u00fcrsorge und Gemeinschaft\u201d. Dies wird durch die Bereitstellung \u201ceines zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfen Lehrplans mit integrativen Schwerpunkten sowie eines vorklinischen und klinischen Umfelds, das neue Praxismodelle und Technologien einbezieht\u201d, erreicht. Die Fakult\u00e4t legt zudem Wert auf die \u201cAbstimmung von Forschung und Wissenschaft, um einen Beitrag zum Wissen und zur Praxis im Bereich der Mundgesundheit und der allgemeinen Gesundheit zu leisten\u201d. Sie bietet einer vielf\u00e4ltigen Gruppe von Studierenden im Grund- und Aufbaustudium eine zahnmedizinische Ausbildung und bereitet sie darauf vor, im 21. Jahrhundert die Zahnmedizin f\u00fcr unterschiedliche Patientengruppen \u2013 insgesamt 4 Millionen Menschen im Gro\u00dfraum Boston \u2013 in verschiedenen zahnmedizinischen Fachgebieten und vielf\u00e4ltigen Praxisumgebungen auszu\u00fcben. Die Ausbildung an der Tufts University findet in einem \u2019Umfeld statt, das eine Kultur der Inklusion und zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfer Versorgung f\u00fcr Lehrende, Mitarbeiter, Studierende, Alumni und Patienten auf lokaler und globaler Ebene f\u00f6rdert\u201c. Interdisziplin\u00e4re Versorgung und Ausbildung stehen in den Graduiertenprogrammen im Vordergrund, in denen Assistenz\u00e4rzte der Prothetik und Parodontologie gemeinsam komplexe Patientenf\u00e4lle erlernen und behandeln. Die unmittelbare Nachbarschaft der Kliniken sowie ein gemeinsamer Raum f\u00fcr die Implantatplanung schaffen ein Umfeld, das positives Lernen und Kollegialit\u00e4t f\u00f6rdert. Wir sind der Meinung, dass diese Ideale und die Interaktion zwischen den beiden Fachbereichen den ITI-Stipendiaten eine wunderbare Gelegenheit bieten, sich an der TUSDM zu entfalten."},{"acf_fc_layout":"highlight_people_3","title":"Lehrst\u00fchle des Stipendienzentrums","items":[{"image":7308,"position":"Scholarship Center Chair ","name":"Prof. Dr. Damian Lee  ","location":"Dept. of Prosthodontics  "},{"image":7306,"position":"Scholarship Center Deputy Chair  ","name":"Dr. Konstantinos Vazoura","location":"Dept. of Prosthodontics"},{"image":7305,"position":"Scholarship Center Deputy Chair ","name":"Dr. Lorenzo Mordini ","location":"Dept. of Periodontology "}],"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":true},{"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":"Scholar will need to apply for limited resident license.
