    The Dental Practice Systems (DPS) Program offers a realistic educational environment for dental students facing institutional challenges. This partially self-supported group practice integrates students and faculty to deliver comprehensive patient care and enhance clinical training.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Health Services Management
    • Clinical Dentistry

    Background:

    • Dental schools experience financial pressures, reduced patient numbers, and heightened competition.
    • There is a critical need for authentic educational settings in dental training.
    • Existing models may not adequately prepare students for practice realities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Dental Practice Systems (DPS) Program as a solution to common dental school challenges.
    • To describe the operational model of a partially self-supported student-faculty group practice.
    • To highlight the program's role in providing realistic clinical and managerial experience.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a partially self-supported student-faculty group practice.
