Recognition for dental students awards

Each May the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry publicly recognizes awardees of its Honors Programs, Advanced Clinical Rotation Programs, and Senior Advanced Clinical Standing Programs. Awardees for the 2009-2010 academic year are listed below.

The LLUSD Honors Programs provide dental students the opportunity to develop and demonstrate excellence above and beyond the required dental curriculum. No clinic points are awarded for participation in Honors Programs, nor does participation replace any competency examinations.

The Advanced Clinical Rotation program provides qualified dental students additional clinical experience in a specialized field. Though the emphasis is primarily clinical, some departments may include a didactic component. Students do not receive additional clinic points for Advanced Clinical Rotation experiences; nor does enrollment in the Advanced Clinical Rotation program replace any competency examinations. 

The Senior Advanced Clinical Standing Program permits students who have reached a level of competence to provide patient treatment with an increased degree of independence and to receive compensation as a Lab Assistant Level 1. No additional clinic points are awarded for participation nor does participation replace any competency examinations.
