CSLX 548 Community Service Learning Externship
The Community Service Learning Externship (CSLX 548) is a clinical experience to be performed outside of the Dental School and is intended to provide senior dental students with an appreciation for cultural diversity as well as first-hand clinical experience attending to the oral health needs of underserved populations. The Commission on Dental Accreditation requires all US dental schools to provide their students with clinical experiences performed outside of the parent institution.
CSLX 548 is organized as two components:
1. The Dental School Associated component (3 credits) consists of rotations at patient clinics associated with the Dental School in Frederick, Perryville, and Westminster, Maryland.
2. The Extramural component (3 credits) is fulfilled by working at other dental practice community sites located both in Maryland and throughout the United States. A small number of students may have the opportunity to fulfill their extramural externship at a location outside of the United States. Rotations are three weeks in duration except for those outside of the US, which will be two weeks of clinical experience plus one week allowed for travel.
