Tufts Dental Medicine

At the School of Dental Medicine’s 146th commencement ceremony on May 18, 189 students were awarded Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees, and 13 students received Master of Science degrees. Another 49 students graduated from the school’s postgraduate certificate and fellowship programs.

Dean Huw Thomas commended the graduates for their academic achievements as well as their “moral support and dedication” to each other, to their patients and to the needs of the community. “Your compassion, your flexibility, your willingness to volunteer not only enhances your clinical skills, but improves access to care to the underserved,” Thomas told the newest dental alumni. “You bring honor to the school.”
