important, human relationships developed between teachers and students and

between students and patients. If ever patients arc regarded .is clinical material,

this building will have been degraded and its use corrupted. We must never

PHILOSOPHY

Since its origin as a professional discipline with the founding of the Baltimore
College ofDental Surgery in 1840, dentistry lias exhibited a commitment to inno-
vation. With continual refinement in clinical procedures and an improved under-
standing ofhuman biology, the profession has been able to improve and expand its
delivery of services. Populations sometimes underserved — the handicapped, med-
ically compromised, hospitalized — not only arc being treated but also arc
benefitting, as is the general population, from improved materials and technology.
The Dental School's programs focus on the three basic aims of the academic com-
munity— teaching, research and service. As a university discipline, dental education
must meet and surpass its previous accomplishments to ensure the continued
advancement of dentistry. While the process of education must remain anchored
firmly to time-tested principles, it must also continually extend itself in discovering
new knowledge and applications, and their use for better oral health care.

THE SCHOOL

HISTORY

The Baltimore College ofDental Surgery, Dental School, University of Maryland
has the distinction of being the first dental college in the world. Formal education
to prepare students for the practice of dentistry originated in 1840 with its estab-
lishment. The chartering of the school by the General Assembly of Maryland on
February 1 , 1 840 represented the culmination of the efforts of Dr. Horace H. Hay-
den and Dr. Chapin A. Harris, two physicians who recognized the need for sys-
tematic formal education as the foundation for a scientific and serviceable dental
profession. Together they played a major role in establishing and promoting for-
mal dental education, and in the development of dentistry as a profession.

Convinced that support for a formal course in dental education would not come
from medical school faculty, Dr. Hayden undertook the establishment of an inde-
pendent dental college. Dr. Harris, an energetic and ambitious young man who had
come to Baltimore in 1830 to study under Dr. Hayden, joined his mentor in the
effort to found the college.

The Baltimore College ofDental Surgery soon became a model for other schools
appearing throughout .American cities. This was due in no small part to the Balti-
more College ofDental Surgery's emphasis on sound knowledge of general medi-
cine and development of the skills of dentistry. Through its contributions to dental

General Information 5

and medical progress and through the prominent role of its faculty and graduates
in the development of the profession, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery has
exerted a remarkable influence on professional dentistry.

The present dental school evolved through a series of consolidations involving
the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, founded in 1840; Maryland Dental Col-
lege, founded in 1873; the Dental Department of the University of Maryland,
founded in 1882; and the Dental Department of the Baltimore Medical College,
founded in 1895. The final consolidation took place in 1923, when the Baltimore
College of Dental Surgery and the Dental Department of the University of Mary-
land were combined to create a distinct college of the University under state super-
vision and control. In 1970, the Dental School moved into Hayden-Harris Hall,
then a new five-story building with modern equipment and treatment facilities. In
1990, the school's clinical facilities were renovated to provide a state-of-the-art
environment for teaching and delivery of care.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY

The Dental School today strives to offer the finest programs of dental education in
the world. Continuing efforts are made to provide educational and training expe-
riences consistent with evolving concepts and advances in the delivery of dental
health care.

In addition to the Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) program, the school offers
a baccalaureate program in dental hygiene designed to prepare students for careers
in dental hygiene practice, education, management and research in private and
public settings. Programs leading to a graduate degree in oral and craniofacial bio-
logical sciences or oral and maxillofacial pathology are also available, including
combined DDS/PhD programs. Graduate programs are designed to prepare stu-
dents for careers in academic dentistry or to supplement clinical training with
knowledge of research methods. Research opportunities also may be made avail-
able to dental students.

Advanced dental education programs are offered in the specialty areas of
endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral and maxillofacial pathology,
orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and
prosthodontics. Also offered are a school-based residency program in advanced
general dentistry, providing advanced level training in the practice of comprehen-
sive general dentistry, and a hospital-based general practice residency program
through the Dental School and the University of Maryland Medical System.

Programs in dental education; dental hygiene education; the advanced dental
education programs in endodontics, oral and maxillofacial pathology, oral and
maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric den-
tistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics; the general practice residency program
(12 months) and the advanced education program in general dentistry (12- and
24-months) are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and have
been granted the accreditation status of approval. The Commission is a specialized
accrediting body recognized by the United States Department of Education. The

The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of \l.tr.
land continues to fulfill, through its graduates, the aspirations of its founders to pro-
vide scientifically trained professionals to serve the oral health care needs of society.

STUDENT BODY

Three hundred ninety-one students were enrolled in the dental program in the
1 997-98 academic year. Of these, 42 percent were female; 40 percent were minor-
ity. The first-year class represented a variety of undergraduate institutions across
the country. Students enrolled averaged 24 years of age, had a mean science grade
point average of 3. 16 and a mean cumulative grade point average of 3.26. The fac-
ulty presently numbers more than 200, including practitioners who teach at the
school part-time.

THE DR. SAMUEL D. HARRIS NATIONAL MUSEUM

OF DENTISTRY

The National Museum of Dentistry, the nation's only museum dedicated to the
history of dentistry, oral health, and the popular culture of teeth, opened in June
1996. It is proudly situated on the campus of the University of Maryland, Balti-
more where it has historic roots and close proximity to the world's first dental
school, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. The museum is supported by the
University of Maryland, the American Dental Association and in part by a $ 1 mil-
lion gift from retired pediatric dentist Dr. Samuel D. Harris of Detroit, for whom
the museum is named.

The 7,000 square feet of gallery space is designed to entertain and engage all
audiences, from dental professionals and students to visiting school children and
members of the general public. Visitors "guess the smile" using an interactive com-
puter game, see George Washington's not-so-wooden teeth, laugh at Laurel and
Hardy at the dentist, marvel at amazing feats with teeth (including the iron-jaw
act), and travel back to a time when itinerant dentists rode from town to town on
horseback. The museum's thousands of visitors have enjoyed learning about this
significant profession through the entertaining displays.

General Information

The museum is conveniently located near Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Oriole
Park at Camden Yards. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
and Sunday 1 to 4 p.m. To arrange for group tours call (410) 706-0052, or for fur-
ther information call (410) 706-0600.

SPECIAL LECTURES

The Stephen E. and Jeffrey A. Kieiman Lectures in Dentistry and
Medicine

As a tribute to the selection of careers in the health professions by his sons, Dr.
Bernard S. Kieiman established this annual lecture program to alternate between
the University of Maryland Dental School and the School of Medicine. Distin-
guished individuals are invited to lecture on topics pertinent and applicable to prac-
ticing dentists or physicians. The Kieiman Lecture alternates with the Toomey
Lecture (see below) as part of Student-Faculty Day activities.

The Jane Boswell Toomey and Lewis Cole Toomey, DDS,
Memorial Lecture

Endowed in 1982 by a major gift from the Toomey family, together with contri-
butions by friends and associates of Dr. and Mrs. Toomey, this biennial lecture was
initiated during the 1985-86 academic year. The Toomey Lecture provides a forum
for distinguished individuals to speak on timely dental research and clinical topics
useful to dental professionals in practice and teaching. The lectures are open to all
members of the dental community.

In addition to these annual lectures, there are two special lectures which are pre-
sented on a rotating basis: the John E. Fogarty Memorial Lecture, initially endowed
by the Rhode Island Section of the Alumni Association of the Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of Maryland, Inc. and The J. Ben
Robinson Memorial Lecture, sponsored by the Maryland Section of the American
College of Dentists.

THE CAMPUS

The Dental School is an integral part of this campus for the professions. Located
on 24.6 acres in downtown Baltimore, the campus began in 1807 with the found-
ing of the School of Medicine. The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery began in
1840, and today these two schools share the campus with the schools of law, nurs-
ing, pharmacy, and social work; an interprofessional graduate school; the Univer-
sity of Maryland Medical System; and the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical
Center. The University educates a majority of the region's health care, legal and
social service practitioners.

APPLICATION/ADMISSION

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
TO THE DENTAL PROGRAM

The Dental School seeks to enroll the highest caliber of students who will become
exemplary health care professionals. Quality is the preeminent criterion in the
recruitment and admissions process. To achieve this strategic objective, the Dental
School has established admissions criteria that permit flexibility in the choice of an
undergraduate program while remaining discriminative with regard to scholastic
achievement. Students majoring in either science or non-science disciplines, as well
as individuals interested in career changes, are encouraged to apply.

Requirements for admission are subject to change without prior notice, as the
Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions reserves the right to modify
the prerequisites when additional courses are necessary to improve an applicant's
preparation for dental school. At a minimum, the undergraduate curriculum must
include eight semester hours each (including laboratories) of general biology, inor-
ganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. Moreover, applicants are expected
to achieve superior grades in these prerequisite courses, because these are the best
predictors of dental student performance in the first two years of the dental cur-
riculum. A minimum of six semester hours of English is also required.

Although the completion of a bachelor's degree prior to dental school matricu-
lation is strongly encouraged by the Committee on Dental Recruitment and
Admissions, applicants who have successfully completed at least three academic
years (90 credit hours) in an accredited university will be considered for admission.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate not only that they have participated
in a challenging program in their respective disciplines, but also that the program
was supplemented by a broad selection of courses in the social sciences, humanities
and arts. Additionally, experiences that develop manual dexterity are strongly
recommended.

No more than 60 of the minimum required credits will be accepted from a
junior college; these credits must have been validated by an accredited college of
arts and sciences. All admission requirements must be completed by June 30 of the
desired year of admission. Applicants must also present favorable recommenda-
tions from their respective predental committee or, if no such committee is avail-
able, from one faculty member each in the departments of biology and chemistry.
In all other respects, applicants must give every promise of becoming successful stu-
dents and dentists of high standing. Applicants will not be admitted with unab-
solved conditions or unabsolved failures.

Baltimore College of Dental Surgery

\ strong record of academic achievement is essential, and .ill applicants should
present science and cumulative grade point averages and I Cental Admissions I est
(DAT) scores that exceed the national averages. [Tie admission illusion will be
based upon 1 ) \ I scores, performance in previous academic programs, the quality
oi those programs, and personal fac tors as evidenced by letters oi recommendation,
extra* utricular activities and .1 personal inten iew.

All applicants are encouraged to take die Dental Admissions list (DAI ) no
later than Decembet ol the year prior to admission. A pamphlet describing the test
and an application to take the test will be sent to the applicant upon request by the
Dental School's Office of Admissions and Student Affairs.

Prior to applying to the Dental School, potential applicants should note the
Universit) oi Maryland policy concerning prevention and management ol student
And employee infection with bloodborne pathogens, page 126. In addition, while
the admissions process does not include questions concerning any prior criminal
activity, individuals who may have a prior or subsequent conviction or nolo con-
tendre plea for a felony may encounter denial or removal of licensure.

RESIDENCY

Information on the regulations for the determination of resident status may be
obtained from the Office of Records and Registration, 621 West Lombard St.,
Room 326, University of Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland 21201 .

APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES

Students are admitted only at the beginning of the fall semester in August. All ap-
plications are processed through the American Association of Dental Schools
Application Service (AADSAS), with the exception of advanced standing and trans-
fer applications. AADSAS will duplicate the transcript, calculate the grade point
average for each applicant, and furnish pertinent information to the Dental School.
AADSAS application request cards are available after June 1 of the year prior to the
desired date of admission upon request to the Office of Admissions and Student
Affairs of the Dental School. Although the AADSAS application must be filed by
all applicants by January 1 5 of the desired year of admission, early filing of the appli-
cation is strongly recommended. The Dental School also charges a separate appli-
cation fee of $60, which should be submitted directly to the Office of Admissions
and Student Affairs at the same time the AADSAS application is submitted.

If the requirements for admission are fulfilled and preliminary admission cri-
teria are met, the applicant will receive the Dental School's supplemental applica-
tion form, which should be completed and mailed to the Dental School's Office of
Admissions and Student Affairs. All applicants who merit consideration will be
interviewed; however, a personal interview does not guarantee admission.

The Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions, composed of faculty
members, students and alumni, selects qualified applicants for admission based on

The Dental Program 1 3

academic performance, DAT scores, faculty recommendations and the personal
interview. A deposit of $200, to be credited toward tuition, must accompany an
applicant's acceptance of an offer of admission. An additional $100 deposit is due
by May 1 to confirm intent to enroll. Admission is contingent upon continued sat-
isfactory academic performance and behavior during the period between accep-
tance and enrollment.

ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING

Students currently enrolled in dental schools within the United States, as well as
graduates of non-U. S. /non-Canadian dental schools, may apply for admission with
advanced standing. It should be noted, however, that such admissions occur very
rarely because of space availability or incompatibility of curricula at different
schools. Students admitted with advanced standing may be exempted from certain
courses based on skills assessment by faculty members. Anyone interested in admis-
sion with advanced standing should contact the Dental School's Office of Admis-
sions and Student Affairs for specific information about requirements and to
request an application form.

READMISSION TO DENTAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Consequent to dismissal or withdrawal, readmission may be sought by reapplica-
tion to the Dental School. In order to initiate the readmission procedure, the for-
mer student shall submit a detailed letter, with supporting documents, to the Office
of Admissions and Student Affairs, requesting readmission to the Dental School.
Students dismissed for violations of the Professional Code of Conduct are ineligi-
ble for readmission, unless substantial evidence of rehabilitation is provided. Deter-
mination of substantial evidence is within the school's sole discretion.

Once the letter of application has been processed by the Office of Admissions
and Student Affairs, the Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions, in
consultation with the appropriate departments, the advancement committee, and
administrative and nonadministrative faculty members within the Dental School,
may consider the student for readmission. The process of consideration may
include a careful review of the student's academic record, a study of the reasons for
readmission, and assessment of the student's potential for academic progress in the
future. Recommendations relative to the readmission will be referred to the Com-
mittee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions in conjunction with the Office of
Admissions and Student Affairs for final decision and notification, including con-
ditions for readmission, where appropriate. Decisions resulting from this policy are
not subject to appeal.

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS

The following numerical range for standardized grades is used in the evaluation of
student performance.

Basic Science Courses Clinical Science Courses

- 90-100

- 80-89

- 70-79

- 65-69

below 70

below 65

A - Excellent — This grade signifies performance of the highest quality or excep-
tional achievement. It is recommended that this grade be awarded to those students
with the highest degree of talent, skills and knowledge, compared with the expected
performance of students at that particular stage of development and training.

B - Good — This grade should be recorded for students who have demonstrated
knowledge, talent or skills significantly above the acceptable level, compared with
the expected performance of students at that particular stage of development and
training.

C - Satisfactory — This grade should be recorded for students who have demon-
strated knowledge, talent or skills at an acceptable level, compared with the
expected performance of students at that particular stage of development and train-
ing.

D - Unacceptable — This grade indicates that student performance is deficient
and at a level below that expected of students at that particular stage of development
and training. The D grade in basic science courses is not a passing grade. It must be
remediated to C to pass the course. Remediation may require re-examination or
repeat of the course. Students who are provided a re-examination with or without

The Dental Program

mentoring would receive the grade D/C; students who repeat the course would earn
the grade achieved in the semester in which the course was repeated. The D grade
is not used by the clinical departments or Preclinical Studies.

E - Conditional Failure — This grade is used as a progress grade or as a tempo-
rary final grade to indicate that a student who otherwise is progressing satisfacto-
rily in a course has failed to master limited segments or some clinical procedures,
but may achieve a satisfactory level of proficiency within a short time if allowed to
do so based upon overall academic performance. When the E grade is used as a tem-
porary final grade, it counts in the grade point average calculation. If successful
remediation occurs, the student will receive the final grade earned in the course,
shown on the permanent record with the original E. An unresolved grade of E will
result in a permanent grade of F.

F - Failure — Students who receive this grade exhibit unsatisfactory perfor-
mance. This grade indicates they have not achieved an acceptable level in skills and
knowledge. As a result, they are not considered ready to advance to more complex
work or to perform independently. When the failure has been absolved, the F grade
will remain on the student's permanent record, but only the new grade will be used
in computing the grade point average.

I - Incomplete — A student whose work in completed assignments is of accept-
able quality but who, because of circumstances beyond the student's control (such
as illness or disability), has been unable to complete course requirements will
receive a grade of Incomplete. When all requirements have been satisfied, the stu-
dent will receive the final grade earned in the course. Except under extraordinary
circumstances, an Incomplete may not be carried into the next academic year.

Scholastic averages are computed on the basis of credits assigned to each course
and the following numerical values for grades: A— 4, B— 3, C— 2, D-l , E-0, F-0. The
grade point average is the sum of the products of course credits and grade values,
divided by the total number of course credits in that year of the curriculum.

The Committee on Predoctoral Advancement and Graduation reviews the per-
formance of each student at the end of each semester. On the basis of progress
and/or final grades, the committee determines one of the following actions for each
student: assignment to a Specially Tailored Education Program (STEP) for first-
and second-year students only; unconditional advancement; conditional advance-
ment; probationary advancement; repeat of the year; remediation of the year; or
recommends dismissal to the Faculty Council, which approves all decisions per-
taining to dismissal or graduation. A student may appeal any action of the advance-
ment committee or the Faculty Council by submission of a written request to the
senior associate dean.

Students must achieve a 2.00 grade point average and passing grades in all
courses in order to advance unconditionally to the next year. Second-year students
must also successfully pass the Part I National Board Dental Examination for
unconditional advancement to the third year.

A student may be permitted to absolve deficiencies during the summer session,
as recommended by the advancement committee. Depending on the type of defi-
ciencies, students may be required to register and pay a fee for the summer session.
Conditional advancement may be assigned to 1) first- and second-year students

win) have not successful!) completed remediation <>i deficient grades during the
summei session; 2) second yeai students who have not passed the Pan I National
Board Dental Examination; and 3) third ycai students who nave n<>t successfully
completed .ill courses but who, in the judgment ol the committee, should be
.it toidcd the opportunity to complete requirements from the third yeai while pro
ceeding with fourth-year courses. Conditionally advanced students who tail t lie
Part 1 National Board Dental Examination must meet the requirements <>f a reme
dial program approved by the ( Committee on Predoctoral Advancement and ( irad
nation before taking a re-examination.

Probationary advancement maybe assigned to 1 ) first- and second-year students
with a grade point average lower than 2.00 and 1) students with a minimum grade
point average of 2.00 who have received a final grade of F in one or more courses.
Students placed on probation must remediate or repeat all courses in which there
was a deficiency to a passing grade of C, achieve a minimum grade point average of
2.00, and pass all courses taken during the probationary academic year. Failure to
do so will result in dismissal from the dental program, subject to discretionary
review by the Faculty Council.

Students with deficiencies too severe to be absolved during the summer session
may be afforded the opportunity to repeat or remediate a specific year of the den-
tal program. Remediation of the year provides students, who would otherwise have
to repeat the year's work in its entirety, with the opportunity for exemption from
courses or portions of courses at the discretion of the department chairs. Students
who are repeating or remediating any year of the dental program are placed on pro-
bation. If it is determined that a student is progressing so poorly that remediation
will not bring him/her to a passing level, dismissal will be recommended to the Fac-
ulty Council.

POLICY FOR APPEAL OF ADVANCEMENT DECISIONS

Appeals Process

The following guidelines have been established to review appeals of decisions of the
Committee on Advancement and Graduation. The initial appeal of all advance-
ment decisions is referred back to the original committee upon written request to
the senior associate dean, within five working days of written notification from the
Office of Academic Affairs of Advancement Committee action. Evidence of com-
pelling additional information or extenuating circumstances not previously con-
sidered must be presented by the student. Only after the reconsideration process is
completed will a continued appeal mechanism be applicable. This mechanism will
not be used to dispute the published advancement guidelines which have been
approved by the Faculty Council.

Within 10 working days of written notification of the decision concerning the
original appeal, the student may initiate the final appeal process by notifying the
dean, in writing, of the intent to appeal the decision. Evidence of compelling addi-
tional information or extenuating circumstances not previously considered must

The Dental Program I 7

be presented by the student. The written appeal must include: the decision the stu-
dent is appealing; the basis for the appeal, including appropriate supporting docu-
mentation; and the academic status that the student is requesting. Students may
present and prioritize more than one alternative.

If it is determined that the appeal is warranted, the final appeal will be forwarded
by the dean to the Academic Appeals Board for consideration. The Appeals Board,
appointed by the Executive Board to a one-year term, shall consist of five regular
and two alternate members who may serve if one or more regular members are
unavailable. All members shall be full-time, tenured faculty members, or full-time
faculty members with at least five years of faculty service who hold the rank of assis-
tant professor or higher. The Board will select its own chair. Members of the Com-
mittee on Advancement and Graduation may not serve. The chair or a designated
member of the Committee on Advancement and Graduation and/or the senior
associate dean will be present for review of appeals, to provide information regard-
ing the student's progress and promotion, as well as the deliberations of the
Advancement Committee during its initial review and subsequent appeal hearing.
These individuals will not take part in deliberations, and will not vote. The Office
of Academic Affairs will provide administrative support for Appeals Board
activities.

The Chair of the Academic Appeals Board will convene the Appeals Board,
within 1 0 working days of receiving a final appeal request, for a preliminary con-
ference to determine whether the student's appeal and supporting documentation
warrant continuation of the appeal process. If the Board determines that the appeal
should not be considered further, the student shall be so notified, in writing, within
two working days. If the appeal is determined to warrant further consideration and
review, the student shall be notified within five working days and advised of the
date and time of the appeals meeting, which should be scheduled, where possible,
within 10 working days of the preliminary conference.

Conduct of the Appeals Meeting

The student may bring one observer or advocate who is not an attorney to the
appeals meeting to present new information or statements of support. Members of
the Appeals Board may ask the student questions to clarify information relevant to
the appeal. Board deliberations will be held in closed session. A simple majority
vote, by secret ballot, will be required to overturn the existing committee decision.
A quorum shall consist of at least four faculty members. If the vote is to overturn,
the Appeals Board may recommend an alternative action, giving due consideration
to the alternatives suggested by the student. The Appeals Board may also deny the
appeal.

Once the Board has made a decision, the chair will immediately advise the dean,
who will communicate the decision to the student in writing within five working
days. The decision of the Board is final.

SPECIALLY TAILORED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

1 lie Spec ullv I ailored Educational Program (STI P) functions within the frame
work ol i Ik- regulai curriculum Inn allows students to spend up to three yean com
pleting first and second yeai courses. I Ik- program was developed foi students
who, because ol academic difficulty, illness or othei circumstances, need special
assistance and/or additional time to fulfill the academic requirements. It also
accommodates the specific program needs ol students transferring from other insti-
tutions and students in combined-degree programs.

The Committee on Predoctoral Advancement and C iraduation may offer a stu-
dent the option of S PEP or assign to S [*EP any student whose progress is unsatis-
factory it it is generally agreed chat a reduced load and/or special tutorial assistance
may improve the students chance of successfully completing course requirements.
An individualized program is designed for each student assigned to STEP, and the
students progress is carefully monitored. Departmental counselors in the basic sci-
ences and preclinical sciences are available to assist any student assigned to STEP.

Students may advance into the regular program when they have demonstrated
satisfactory progress; otherwise they remain in STEP until they have completed all
first- and second-year courses.

PROGRAM FOR DENTAL STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT SUC-
CESSFULLY COMPLETED PART I I OF THE NATIONAL
BOARD DENTAL EXAMINATION BY THE END OF THE
SENIOR YEAR

In accordance with Dental School policy, successful completion of Part II of the
National Board Dental Examination is a requirement for graduation. Dental stu-
dents who have not successfully completed this examination by the end of their
senior year will register in, and pay tuition for, a program specifically designed to
meet the student's needs as determined by the Committee on Predoctoral Advance-
ment and Graduation. The Committee will develop this program based upon the
department chairs' recommendations for student assignment to clinical programs
in need of student services. Additionally, students will be assigned patients who
need comprehensive care and/or will participate in specific clinical and nonclinical
activities to maintain their clinical knowledge and skills. Students will also be
assigned an independent course of study to assist them in preparation for the board
examination.

THEMINIMESTER

In the January minimester, students in all years of the dental program may choose
to take elective courses when required courses are not scheduled. The clinic con-
tinues to operate on the usual schedule during the minimester. Any credits awarded
for minimester elective courses will not be applied to the DDS degree.

The Dental Program

Undergraduate students contemplating a career in dentistry may attend this ses-
sion on a per-course basis. Information concerning course offerings is distributed
to prospective students by the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs and to all
enrolled students by the Office of Academic Affairs.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

The faculty and administration of the Dental School expect every student to attend
all scheduled lectures, seminars, laboratory sessions and clinic assignments, except
in the event of illness or emergency. Course syllabi for each department and the
Clinic Manual address specific departmental and clinical attendance policies and
requirements, and delineate a policy for managing missed examinations, quizzes
and other assignments. Students may lose the opportunity for remediation and/or
re-examination if they do not meet published departmental/course standards for
attendance.

Students who anticipate they will be absent for planned events (e.g., religious
holidays) should contact course directors to make arrangements in advance of the
anticipated absence. Year III and Year IV dental students should also contact their
general practice managers and directors of block assignments, if indicated.

In the event of an emergency or serious illness, students should contact course
directors, general practice managers, and directors of block assignments, preferably
prior to scheduled educational activities. If prior notice is not possible, contact
should be made at the earliest opportunity. Course directors will determine the
impact of the absence and the subsequent course of action.

Students who miss specific educational activities, including but not limited to
examinations, quizzes and block assignments, must complete an absence form,
including an explanation for the absence. The student's signature on the form ver-
ifies that the explanation provided is accurate. The course director will review the
absence form, make a determination regarding the appropriate course of action and
sign the absence form. Copies of the form will be provided for the student, the
course director/department and the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs. Stu-
dent appeals of the final disposition must be made within five working days and
should be referred to the department chair. If a satisfactory resolution is not
reached, the appeal should be forwarded to the Office of the Assistant Dean for
Admissions and Student Affairs for a final disposition.

Students who anticipate a long-term absence (more than five days) should con-
tact the assistant dean for admissions and student affairs directly to discuss strate-
gies for managing the impact of the absence on the educational program.

DEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS

CLERKSHIP PROGRAM

Two elective clerkship programs allow selected fourth-year students to pursue fur-
ther studies in departmental activities specially designed to meet their needs and
interests. Students devote a portion of their clinic time to these specialized pro-
grams; the remaining clinic time is spent in the comprehensive treatment of
patients in the regular program. Clerkships are available in basic science and clini-
cal disciplines and several incorporate off-campus clinical experiences in various
practice settings.

CLINICAL DENTISTRY

Staff: All clinical departments

The clinical education program is designed to provide each student with a broad
background of clinical experience based on the philosophy of prevention and com-
prehensive patient care. Although the need for the treatment of existing disease is
of paramount importance, the clinical program stresses long-term complete dental
care founded on preventing the occurrence or recurrence of disease. Each student
provides patient care in a general practice in a manner similar to practitioners in the
community. Clinical areas for predoctoral instruction are designated primarily for
general practice teams. Clinical instruction is accomplished using dentist-man-
agers, general dentists and specialists providing interdepartmental instruction for
the student and the highest level of dental care for the patient. The clinical program
functions year round in order to provide continuity of patient care.

CLINICAL SIMULATION

Director: Michael M. Belenky

Staff: Dental Hygiene, Oral Health Care Delivery, Pediatric Dentistry and

Periodontics

Clinical simulation prepares students for the realities of patient care and is
employed in all four years of the undergraduate curriculum. In year one, students
are introduced to fundamental principles of human-centered ergonomics (perfor-
mance logic), which they apply in preclinical and clinical assignments of years one
and two, and in clinical patient care in years three and four. This early focus on
ergonomics enables students to proprioceptively determine an optimal posture,
position and process for practice in ways designed to facilitate the attainment of
peak performance and occupational health without compromise of task, patient or
self. Students acquire and advance the psychomotor skills needed for dental prac-
tice in a unique educational setting: the clinical simulation unit, which is unlike
laboratories of the past. Its simulation modules replicate the equipment found in
the operatories of a dental practice and incorporate realistic mannequins that sim-
ulate human head forms. In this state-of-the-art environment, students learn real-
istic skills and habits that are readily and easily transferred to patient care.

CONJOINT SCIENCES

Director: Harold L. Crossley
Staff: All departments

Conjoint Sciences is the administrative unit responsible for the coordination of
subjects which are most appropriately presented in an interdisciplinary format.
Certification for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is required for each year.

In the first year, lectures in Conjoint Sciences introduce the students to the his-
tory of dentistry, the epidemiology of chemical dependency, ethics and geriatric
dentistry.

Human growth and development, immunology, cariology, clinical aspects of
head and neck anatomy, geriatric dentistry and dental anesthesiology are subjects
presented in the second year of Conjoint Sciences. Certification for blood pressure
measurement is a required component of the program in the second year.

The third year of Conjoint Sciences deals primarily with the management of
clinical problems associated with the interdisciplinary topics previously presented.
Topics include dental management of the patient with special needs, therapeutics,
general anesthesia, ethical dilemmas, geriatric dentistry and temporomandibular
dysfunction.

The curriculum in the fourth year includes a clinically oriented dental pharma-
cology course and a wide range of selective courses.

Clinical Assistant Professors: Gamson, Hyson, Quarantillo, Smith, Zia

The student's introduction to endodontics begins in the second year. It consists of
a series of lectures, seminars, laboratories and patient simulations that stress both
the fundamentals and biologic principles of endodontics and the diagnosis and
treatment of pulp and periapical disease.

In the third year, lectures expand the basic material presented in the second year.
Cases are treated clinically, with the student demonstrating an acceptable level of
competency by the completion of the third year. The fourth-year experience in
endodontics is primarily clinical. Competency in clinical endodontics with more
complex cases is expected of each student. A clerkship program in advanced
endodontics is available to selected students in their fourth year.

The department conducts research in dental traumatology, dental materials,
endodontic surgery and immunology.

The primary graduate program of the Department of Oral and Craniofacial Bio-
logical Sciences is the PhD degree. The three major tracks leading to the PhD
include cell and molecular biology, infectious diseases and immune function, and
neuroscience. The scholarly activities within this PhD program prepare students to
become independent research investigators and competent teachers.

It is also possible to combine clinical training with advanced work in the bio-
logical sciences. The combined PhD and postgraduate specialty program in den-
tistry is designed for students who wish to simultaneously pursue a clinical specialty
and an in-depth research training experience. The DDS/PhD is designed for stu-
dents who wish to simultaneously pursue their undergraduate dental education and
in-depth research training in specific biological science disciplines.

In addition to the PhD, the department offers the Master of Science degree,
which is designed to give the student an introductory background in the founda-
tions of oral and craniofacial biological sciences and experience in conducting
research in this field of study.

The specialization track in cell and molecular biology includes faculty members
with training and research experience in physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology
and anatomy. It provides training in a range of molecular and cell biology research
areas including endocrinology, regulation of gene expression and gene cloning, and
sequencing. The infectious disease and immune function track is designed to
give the student a broad base in all the major sub-disciplines of microbiology/
immunology while allowing the student to concentrate on one specific area of inter-
est or specialization such as oral microbiology, pathogenic microbiology, immunol-
ogy, virology, microbial genetics or microbial cytology. The neuroscience track
offers a broad-based training program in integrative neuroscience. Faculty mem-
bers have research interests in sensory processes including pain, touch, and propri-
oception; sensorimotor integration; motor control systems; and higher cognitive
processes. Anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, biochemical and molecular
techniques are employed to gain a better understanding of how the nervous system
processes changes in environmental stimuli, and how they affect behavior.

The department has been awarded a five-year training program in Orofacial
Biology and Neuroscience from the National Institute of Dental Research.
Stipends are available for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. This training pro-
gram provides an opportunity to develop independent researchers qualified and
committed to conduct clinical and basic research in dentally relevant areas of neu-
roscience. Recruitment has not only been directed toward identifying clinician-sci-
entists and basic scientists demonstrating a keen interest and initial contributions

26 Baltimore College of Dental Surgery

in oral neurobiology , but also toward identifying predoctoral students whose train
ingand researc h interests are consistent \\ ith the goals ol the training program.

rhedepartmem also offers the traditional introductor) courses in anatomy, bio
chemistry, microbiology, pharmacolog) and physiology thai are pari ol the cui
riculura for dental students and are also core <>i elective courses f<»i graduate
students. A description ol those courses follows:

\n.iiomv — The basic course in hum. in anatomy is devoted to the study ol the cells,
(issues, organs and organ systems ol the body using an interdisciplinary approach
encompassing gross an. noun-, neuroanatomy, histology and developmental
anatomy. Principles ol body structure and function are studied with a particular
emphasis on the head and neck and major organ systems. A strong eftort is made
to correlate the anatomy curriculum with other courses in the basic and clinical sci-
ences of the dental curriculum.

Biochemistry — Biochemistry is a study of cellular processes at the molecular level
and the influences of nutrition and pathologies on these processes. The teaching
goals of this discipline are to present a comprehensive course in biochemistry to the
first-year students seeking a professional degree in dentistry and to provide a pro-
gram of specialized training for graduate students. The course provided for dental
students covers the major traditional subjects of biochemistry. Dental students who
have previously taken a course in biochemistry may take a competency examina-
tion which, if passed satisfactorily, permits them to be excused from taking this
course.

Microbiology — The predoctoral program in this section is organized to supply stu-
dents with the fundamental principles of microbiology such that they may under-
stand the chemical and biological mechanisms of the production of disease by
bacteria and other parasites, and the means by which the host protects itself against
bacteria and related organisms.

Pharmacology — The program of instruction in pharmacology is divided into three
phases. The first phase includes a thorough study of the basic concepts and princi-
ples in pharmacology. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of action, absorption,
distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs, therapeutic indications, common
adverse reactions and drug interactions. The second phase teaches oral therapeu-
tics, drug interactions and pain and anxiety control through the participation in the
conjoint sciences program. The third phase, designed for graduate and postdoc-
toral students, provides in-depth coverage of current topics in analgesia, local and
general anesthesia, dental therapeutics and dental toxicology.
Physiology — The basic principles of physiology are stressed in the predoctoral
course, providing students with knowledge of the functions of the principal organ
systems of the body. Dental-oriented aspects of physiology are taught through par-
ticipation in the conjoint sciences program. Advanced courses are for students
interested in careers in teaching and research.

Associate Staff: Hebert, Hu, Norris

The predoctoral teaching program consists of an interdisciplinary course that cov-
ers the basic principles of pathology and medicine through presentation of the mor-
phologic, chemical and physiologic changes of basic disease processes and
important specific diseases. Emphasis is placed on the diagnosis, etiology, patho-
genesis and clinical manifestations of disease processes in the oral cavity. The aim
is to provide a sound basis for the differential diagnosis of oral lesions and a ratio-
nale for their treatment. The student is provided ample opportunity to develop pro-
ficiency in problem-solving in oral diagnosis. A variety of techniques for
examination and diagnosis are covered, including dental radiography.

The department presents courses for postgraduate students and offers graduate
programs leading to a master's or doctoral degree. Research and graduate training
are conducted in the pathobiology of connective tissues, stress proteins and devel-
opmental biology. Graduate training programs are also offered in surgical and clin-
ical oral pathology.

tal practice administration, (3) dental delivery systems, (4) dental public health,
(5) epidemiology and scientific literature evaluation, (6) geriatric dentistry, (7) spe-
cial patient eare, (8) community-based oral health care, and (9) the clinical prac-
tice of dentistry utilizing human performance logic and appropriate auxiliary
personnel. During the four-year curriculum, students attend department-spon-
sored lectures, seminars, independent and small-group projects, community rota-
tions and patient care clinics.

The core curriculum includes: first year — oral health care issues, principles of
epidemiology and review of scientific literature; second year — applied behavioral
analysis, communication, patient compliance, stress management, and dental
health education and community service project; third year — computer applica-
tions, accounting, finance, economics, law, marketing, taxes, practice and business
planning, and Dental Practice Systems clinic; fourth year — dental practice admin-
istration, Dental Practice Systems clinic, required externship experience, and com-
munity-based geriatric oral health. Lectures on geriatric dentistry occur in all four
years of the curriculum in the Conjoint Sciences program. The third-and fourth-
year Dental Practice Systems clinic program demonstrates delivery system alterna-
tives using human performance-centered ergonomics, behavioral and modern
practice administration concepts. The department supports the dental school's
comprehensive care program through the clinical and managerial support it pro-
vides the general practices. Additionally, students participate in a variety of volun-
teer and required community experiences during each year of the dental school
program.

In addition, lectures on the nature of handicapping and medically compromis-
ing conditions and their effects on patients are presented in the first three years of
the curriculum. During the third and fourth year of this special patient program,
students are the primary providers for physically disabled and mentally handi-
capped individuals and those with special medical conditions or infectious diseases.
All clinical care is provided in special facilities designed and operated for the de-
livery of dental care to handicapped and medically compromised individuals of
all ages.

The department conducts research in dental materials, clinical trials, practice
administration, quality assurance, behavioral sciences, orofacial pain, geriatric den-
tistry, oral health services, and oral health policy.

Instruction in oral-maxillofacial surgery begins in the second year of the curricu-
lum. Instructors present introductory material on exodontia and dentoalveolar
oral-maxillofacial surgery, as well as lectures and demonstrations in administration
of local anesthesia.

Third- and fourth-year lectures cover all phases of oral-maxillofacial surgery,
from the management of orofacial infections and facial trauma to advanced recon-
structive and facial cosmetic surgery. In addition, instruction is provided in
advanced pain and anxiety control and the use of inhalation sedation. Students are
rotated to the oral-maxillofacial clinic in block assignments during the third and
fourth years for progressive participation in oral-maxillofacial surgery procedures.

Fourth-year students receive additional instruction on the recognition and man-
agement of medical emergencies in the dental office and endoseous implant
surgery. In addition, students are scheduled on block assignments to the hospital
for hospital dentistry, operating room and general anesthesia experience. Students
also take night call with the oral-maxillofacial and general practice residents. Fur-
thermore, the department offers selective lecture courses in medical patient evalu-
ation and craniofacial surgery. Research is presently being conducted in
chemoprevention of oral carcinoma. The department has also been involved in
evaluation of analgesics for postsurgical pain control and tumor immunology.

The curriculum in oral medicine and diagnosis Includes the basic principles ol the
patient interview, the fundamentals of physical examination, recognition of oral

disease, treatment planning, management ol patients with oral and/or systemic dis-
ease And management of dental emergencies.

Radiology is taught in the spring semester of the first year and is completed in
the fall semester of \ ear rwo. Oral radiology provides an overview of principles and
techniques used in obtaining diagnostic images of the oral and maxillofacial com-
plex. Subjects discussed include: an introduction to radiation physics; nature of
x-rays; biologic effects of ionizing radiation; radiation safety and protection; intra-
oral radiographic techniques, and film processing and quality assurance in oral
radiology. The pre-clinical component, which continues into the fall semester of
j ear two, includes block rotations that provide the student with hands-on experi-
ence in practicing film placement and exposure using training manikins.

Principles of Biomedicine, an interdisciplinary course taught in conjunction
with the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, introduces the second-
year student to oral medicine through didactic presentations concerning the patient
interview, clinical examination, oral radiology and treatment planning. Clinical
aspects of the course are taught in the second, third and fourth years.

Principles of oral medicine and diagnosis are taught in the third and fourth years
clinically and didactically. These courses reinforce the concept that the dentist should
receive adequate training in obtaining medical histories, performing appropriate
physical examinations, interpreting the results of various laboratory tests and, most
importantly, relating the physical status of the patient to the dental treatment plan.

The department conducts research in dental management of medically com-
promised patients, prevention of infection in immuno-compromised patients, pre-
vention of bacterial endocarditis, evaluation of drugs to treat bacterial and fungal
infections of the oral cavity and the role of viruses in cancer and its treatment.

The predoctoral program of instruction in orthodontics is directed toward provid-
ing the dental student with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize an
established or developing malocclusion, provide preventive and therapeutic treat-
ment within the scope of the general dental practice, consult as a team member with
the specialist, refer cases requiring specialist care as appropriate and coordinate
comprehensive care of the patient.

Instruction in orthodontics occurs during all four years of the dental program.
Didactic and laboratory exercises provide a strong foundation for delivery of lim-
ited orthodontic treatment as part of an adult and child patient's comprehensive
dental care. Elective and clerkship opportunities are available for those who wish
to pursue additional course work and clinical experience.

The department conducts research in growth and development, experimental
and diagnostic imaging, the biology of tooth movement, properties and bio-com-
patibility of orthodontic materials and the physiology of facial musculature.

In the third year, students have didactic exposure to advanced periodontal proce-
dures. Third- and fourth-year students enter into a learning contract that delineates
a set of basic minimum clinical experiences. Interested students have the opportu-
nity to choose from a broad range of additional experiences and to contract for both
additional experiences and the grade the student feels these experiences warrant.
Thus, individual students have substantial involvement in establishing their edu-
cational goals.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Dental School offers both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree
in dental hygiene. The baccalaureate degree can be earned in either the Preprofes-
sional/Professional Program or the Degree Completion Program. The objective of
both programs is to develop in students the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values
needed to assume positions of responsibility in a variety of health care, educational,
research and community settings. In addition, these programs are designed to pro-
vide foundations for graduate study in dental hygiene or related disciplines. Infor-
mation about the graduate program in dental hygiene begins on page 72 of the
Advanced Education Programs section.

The dental hygienist, as a member of the oral health care team, strives to improve
oral health by providing preventive, therapeutic, and educational services to the
public. Clinical dental hygiene services include assessing patients' general and oral
health status, removing deposits and stains from teeth, taking dental x-rays and
applying fluorides and sealants. Educational and management services for individ-
uals and/or groups may include providing nutritional and oral hygiene counseling;
conducting educational programs; and planning, implementing and evaluating
community oral health programs.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN DENTAL HYGIENE

The majority of dental hygienists are employed in private dental offices. However,
there are increasing opportunities for those with baccalaureate and graduate degrees
in dental hygiene education; community, school and public health programs;
private and public institutions; armed forces; research, and other special areas of
practice.

Current dental hygiene graduates working full-time can anticipate an initial
annual income of approximately $42,000, depending on the area, responsibilities,
type of practice and general economic conditions.

TWO- AND THREE-YEAR PROFESSIONAL CURRICULA

TWO-YEAR PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUM

The professional curriculum includes clinical and didactic courses in the Dental
School. Throughout these two years, dental hygiene students work concurrently
with dental students to provide patient care.

During the first year, students expand upon their preprofessional basic science
knowledge as it pertains to dental hygiene practice. In both laboratory and clinical
settings, the students begin to develop the skills, knowledge and judgment neces-
sary to collect data for patient treatment; assess each patient's oral health status; and
select and provide preventive, therapeutic, and educational services based on the
individual needs of the patient.

During the second year, students demonstrate increasing proficiency and self-
direction in assessing patients' oral health status, planning and providing clinical
services and identifying the need for consultation and referral. To enrich their edu-
cational experiences, students provide educational and/or clinical services in den-
tal school specialty clinics and a variety of community settings, such as hospitals,
schools, and facilities for the handicapped, chronically ill and aged. Dental hygiene
students also have an opportunity to work with dental students as primary
providers for the physically disabled, mentally handicapped and individuals with
serious medical conditions or infectious diseases. Senior students also take courses
in education, research and management, which enable them to develop funda-
mental skills necessary for various career options within the profession.

ORAL-MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

Objectives

• To prepare individuals for a career in the specialty of oral-maxillofacial surgery.

• To fulfill educational requirements for specialty certification by the American
Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

• To fulfill the requirements for specialty training of the Commission on Dental
Accreditation.

• To fulfill the educational requirements for the MD degree and licensure.

Scope of Training

During the first year, students enter residency training in oral-maxillofacial surgery
at the University of Maryland Medical System and Dental School. Students par-
ticipate in clinical exodontia and other dentoalveolar surgery. They attend patient
rounds, oral pathology and physical assessment course work, surgical-orthodontic
conferences, implant conferences, and are assigned a two-month, off-service rota-
tion with the department of anesthesiology.

During the second and third years of the residency, the oral-maxillofacial
surgery residents will enter the University of Maryland School of Medicine at the
level of the first clinical year. The residents will be undergraduate medical students
for these two years. At the end of the third year of the program the trainees will
graduate with an MD degree after they have successfully achieved all medical school
requirements.

In the fourth year of residency, the resident will enter a one-year internship in
general surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. This one-year
period of training will qualify the resident to obtain medical licensure in most
states. During this period of time, the trainee will gain experience in both general
medical management of the surgical patient and in principles of general surgery
with rotations in trauma surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgery and surgical inten-
sive care.

The fifth year of the residency program is at University Hospital and the Den-
tal School. Graduate instruction in head and neck anatomy, advanced oral pathol-
ogy, pharmacology, physiology and microbiology is required. Fifth-year residents

Advanced Education Programs 53

perform complex ambulatory surgery in the surgery clinic of the Dental School. In
addition, fifth-year residents are introduced to major maxillofacial surgery proce-
dures in the operating room. Trainees attend all departmental conferences and
receive advanced instruction in oral-maxillofacial surgery. Research is considered
an important factor and all trainees are required to participate in a research project
during the fifth year.

The sixth year of residency is at University Hospital, the Maryland Institute for
Emergency Medical Services Systems and affiliated hospitals. The chief residents
are responsible for the direction of the surgical team on their service, and for the
care of hospitalized patients. During this year, residents participate in all confer-
ences held by the department and complete their research projects.

Site of Training

During the course of the program, students will rotate through training sites at the
Dental School, University of Maryland Medical System, Maryland Institute for
Emergency Medical Services Systems, Sinai Hospital and the Veterans Affairs Med-
ical Center. Optional off-service rotation to other institutions in the United States
or in foreign nations is offered.

ADVANCED EDUCATION IN
GENERAL DENTISTRY RESIDENCY

Objectives

• \o provide a clinical environment that will improve and reinforce clinical skills
and knowledge in the practice of comprehensive general dentistry.

• To provide an opportunity to participate in the management of a simulated pri-
vate group practice.

• To train the student, under the direction of an attending staff of general den-
tists and specialists, in the preparation of complex treatment plans and the per-
formance of a wide range of clinical procedures.

• To provide experience in patient, personnel and practice management.

Scope of Training: One-Year Program

The clinical experiences for each student incorporate a broad range of clinical cases
and are designed to match specific needs and interests. The patients assigned are
selected by the faculty on the basis of type and complexity of treatment required.
Students assume the responsibility for patient treatment and learn to serve as prin-
cipal coordinator when specialist care is required.

The Advanced Education in General Dentistry environment simulates a private
group practice and is one in which students are exposed to new techniques and con-
cepts in patient care. This atmosphere is enhanced by ongoing clinical research in
materials and devices, and the clinical treatment of Advanced Education in Gen-
eral Dentistry patients by attending faculty. Chairside dental auxiliaries, full-time
hygienists, receptionist/clerks and financial personnel facilitate the efficient deliv-
ery of services. Laboratory support is provided by technicians in commercial and
Dental School laboratories.

Students spend 80 percent of their time in the Advanced General Dentistry
clinic practice facility; the remaining 20 percent is devoted to seminars that cover
all dental specialties. These seminars are presented by senior faculty members of the
Dental School and private practitioners, as well as by the Advanced Education in
General Dentistry faculty members. Each student prepares and presents case
reports and conducts literature review seminars.

Number of Positions: One-Year Program

Advanced Education Programs 67

Scope of Training: Two-Year Program

This program pursues the one-year objectives while the curriculum is centered
around matriculation in the Master of Science in Oral Biology program offered
within the Dental School. The intent is to direct potential careers into educa-
tion/research, advanced general or specialty practice. At the same time students
treat increasingly more difficult comprehensive care patients, increase their level of
independent clinical activity and improve practice management skills.

Research required for thesis development is usually conducted in a clinical or
laboratory setting and offers a wide selection of interest areas such as ongoing mate-
rials studies based in restorative and esthetic dentistry, special patients, geriatrics,
TMD and implantology. Additional opportunities may be specifically tailored to
provide experiences at extramural training sites, and experience in pre-clinical and
clinical teaching areas is provided. An additional six months to one year may be
necessary beyond the 24-month program to ensure completion of all requirements
for the Master of Science in Oral Biology. For those interested, a PhD program is
available if admission requirements are met. Contact the program director if you
desire to be considered for this program.

Scope of Training

The department of dentistry is a department of the University of Maryland Med-
ical System. It is within this department in the division of hospital dentistry that
the General Practice Residency program functions. The Dental School provides
faculty from its basic science and clinical science departments to support the didac-
tic and clinical components of the General Practice Residency program.

The majority of a resident's time is spent in the clinic of the Department of Den-
tistry, where a wide range of patients are treated under the supervision of the attend-
ing staff. The remaining time is devoted to operating room experiences and hospital
clinic practice in various settings. In addition, the residents receive the following
experiences, which account for 25 percent of the year:
Anesthesia Rotation — A one-month rotation in anesthesia

Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery Rotation — A one-month rotation in the oral-maxillo-
facial surgery service provides the resident with an opportunity to be primarily
involved with inpatient care.

University of Maryland Cancer Center — The clinical branch of the Baltimore
Cancer Research Center is a joint University of Maryland School of Medicine and
Medical System program for research in the treatment of cancer. Multidisciplinary
protocol studies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and
surgery, are currently being evaluated.

The center admits patients with acute leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors and
other solid tumors such as testicular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and breast can-
cer. In conjunction with dental attending staff, the resident assists in the dental
management of these patients.

Consultations — Exposure to patients with varying medical problems is achieved
through regularly requested dental consultations from all units of the hospital.
Operating Room — The general practice residents provide dental services in the
operating room for patients whose dental needs require hospitalization and/or gen-

Advanced Education Programs 69

eral anesthesia. Operating room time and beds are available to the general practice
service for this use.

Emergency Call — The General Practice Residency program provides 24-hour
dental service for patients who come to the emergency room or for referrals from
the Dental School and the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Sys-
tems. Residents are on-call nights and weekends on a rotation basis; sleeping quar-
ters are provided for nights on-call.

Children's Hospital — Residents rotate in two-month cycles providing treatment
to pediatric and adult patients.

Kernan Hospital — All residents participate in a two-month rotation at Kernan
Hospital.

Approximately 1 5 percent of the scheduled time is spent in seminars that cover
a wide range of advanced dental topics and are presented by senior faculty mem-
bers of the Dental School as well as by the attending staff. The residents participate
in these seminars, including the preparation and presentation of case reports and
literature reviews. In addition, each resident is required to prepare a paper suitable
for publication, conduct a seminar or present at grand rounds.

In the second year of the program the resident receives a higher level of training
and more practical experience with more complex cases. The resident also assumes
some teaching responsibilities.

Site of Training

University Hospital is a 785-bed teaching facility with the objective of providing
the highest quality of patient care, medical education and research to and for the
citizens of the state of Maryland. Since its founding in 1 823, the hospital has under-
gone a series of major expansion projects culminating with the north hospital addi-
tion in 1973 and the Gudelsky wing in 1994.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philoso-
phy (PhD) degrees are offered in oral and craniofacial biological sciences, and oral
and maxillofacial pathology. A Master of Science degree is also offered by the
Department of Dental Hygiene. The PhD may be combined with the DDS or one
of the Advanced Dental Education programs.

A PhD program in oral and craniofacial biology (and accompanying MS) per-
mits the student to focus on one of three tracks: 1) craniofacial morphology and
function (functional and developmental morphology of the orofacial region, brain
processes and underlying sensation and motor control); 2) oral molecular, cellular
and systems biology (biochemical, molecular, cellular processes related to cranio-
facial biology); or 3) oral infectious disease (bacterial, viral or fungal diseases of the
orofacial region, and immunology and pathogenetic mechanisms of such infectious
disease).

Programs are also available for those who wish to pursue a graduate degree in
the basic sciences concurrently with clinic specialty education. The combined
degree/specialty training program generally requires three years for the master's

Advanced Education Programs 7 1

degree and five years for the doctorate. These programs are highly individualized
and are developed according to the candidate's needs.

A Master of Science in oral biology program is available for graduate students
who are enrolled in the certificate programs in the Dental School (endodontics,
orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, advanced educa-
tion in general dentistry) or any persons holding a DDS, DMD or equivalent
degree. The program is a multidisciplinary one, in that the graduate courses neces-
sary to satisfy the requirements of the University of Maryland Graduate School,
Baltimore for the master's degree are selected from the various departments of the
University. Students who fulfill all requirements of this program are awarded the
Master of Science degree.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN DENTAL HYGIENE

The Master of Science degree program in dental hygiene is an innovative program
designed to prepare dental hygienists to assume positions of responsibility beyond
those assumed by the graduate of a baccalaureate program and to provide a foun-
dation for doctoral level study. The program is student-centered, individualized
and flexible. The faculty is committed to facilitating the development of profes-
sionals who are competent to pursue careers in teaching, research, administra-
tion/management or public/community health. Self-evaluation, self-direction and
critical thinking are encouraged throughout the program. Students have the oppor-
tunity to share experiences, knowledge and skills, work cooperatively with col-
leagues, and explore a variety of resources to help them reach their maximum
potentials as health care professionals.

Program concentrations include education, management and community/
institutional health. Students in the community/institutional health concentration
may choose to focus on acute/hospital care or chronic/geriatric care. Within each
concentration, practical career-oriented applications of knowledge and theory are
emphasized.

The Curriculum

Full-time students can expect to complete the graduate program in 12 to 15
months. Part-time students usually complete the program in 24 to 30 months.
Based on their career interests, students may select the thesis or the non-thesis
option. Students in the thesis track must complete a total of 30 semester credits;
those in the non-thesis track complete 34 credits. Under the guidance of a thesis
advisor and committee, thesis students design, implement and defend a research
project for a total of six credits. Non-thesis students, under the guidance of an advi-
sor, submit a scholarly paper as a practicum project.

STUDENT POLICIES

STUDENT JUDICIAL POLICY

Statement oj Ethical Principles, Practices, and Behaviors

1 isted below are examples ol principles and behaviors that the academic commu
nity of the Dental School, consisting of both (acuity and students, considers gen-
erally valid. No such statement can ever be complete, nor can it he construed as a
comprehensive code of professional conduct. Rather, it is intended as a guide to live
by for those who are a part of the academic community.

• Each member or this community is obliged to carry out his or her designated
responsibilities within the rules and governance structure adopted and agreed to
by the community as a whole.

• Faculty and students should be concerned with their own competence and strive
to improve themselves in the integration and transmission of knowledge.

• In contributing to the information base of the sciences, whether verbally or by
written communication, students and faculty should present data, interpreta-
tions of data, and other facets of scholarly discovery with honesty and integrity.

• Professional relations among all members of the community should be marked
by civility. Thus, scholarly contributions should be acknowledged, slanderous
comments and acts should be expunged, and each person should recognize and
facilitate the contributions of others to this community.

• Each member of the community, when acting as an evaluator of any other mem-
ber, should recognize unprofessional personal bias and eliminate its effect on the
evaluation.

• The validity of evaluation shall not be compromised by any departure from the
published and/or generally understood rules of conduct. Thus, all manner of
cheating on examinations or the presentation of work assumed to be one's own
but done by another are unacceptable behaviors.

• An individual may challenge or refuse to comply with a directive whose imple-
mentation would not be in keeping with generally held ethical principles.

• An individual should report his or her limitation of knowledge or experience if
either limitation is likely to compromise an effort or expected result.

• Faculty and students should seek consultation whenever it appears that the qual-
ity of professional service may be enhanced thereby.

• Students should seek consultation and supervision whenever their care of a
patient may be compromised because of lack of knowledge and/or experience.

• Students and faculty members must merit the confidence of patients entrusted
to their care, rendering to each a full measure of service and devotion.

• All patients should be treated with dignity and respect.

• An individual or group of individuals should not abuse their power by extend-
ing it beyond its defined or generally accepted limits.

Student Life 85

• To the extent practical, sanctions for violations of these principles shall affect
only individuals found to have committed the violations and shall not affect
other persons.

Professio?ial Code of Conduct

This academic community has interrelated responsibilities of producing and dis-
seminating new scientific knowledge, teaching, caring for patients, and educating
individuals to carry on these same functions. In carrying out these responsibilities,
the academic community needs rules to guide the maintenance of high standards.
These must be nurtured by individuals with developed senses of honor, integrity
and intellectual honesty. It is incumbent upon the academic community to pro-
vide an environment that fosters these attributes in students and faculty members.
It is important that faculty members and students in a health profession realize
that in our society the health practitioner functions mainly on the basis of self-dis-
cipline, rather than on imposed regulation, and receives a high degree of public con-
fidence and trust. By accepting a Professional Code of Conduct, which represents
this trust, the faculty member and student demonstrate the desire to be fully pre-
pared for the obligation to the dental profession and to the people served. As is tra-
ditionally expected of all health professionals, faculty members and students will
demonstrate the highest standards of integrity at all times. Faculty members and
students are expected at all times to conduct themselves in accordance with all
codes, rules and regulations of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental
School, University of Maryland.

Student Offenses of the Professional Code of Conduct

The following behaviors, while not inclusive, are examples of student offenses of

the Professional Code of Conduct.

• Unprofessional Conduct: Including, but not limited to, all forms of conduct
which fail to meet the standards of the dental profession: lack of personal clean-
liness, use of abusive language or behavior, sexual harassment, disruption of class
or any other school activity, and/or violation of the Dental School dress code.

• Academic Misconduct: All forms of student academic misconduct including,
but not limited to, plagiarism, cheating on examinations, violation of examina-
tion procedures, and submitting work for evaluation that is not one's own effort.

• Dishonesty: Includes knowingly furnishing false information through forgery,
alteration or misuse of documents or records with intent to deceive; presenting
written or oral statements known to be false; loaning, transferring, altering or
otherwise misusing University identification materials.

• Theft or Destruction of Property: Includes unauthorized possession or receiv-
ing of property that does not belong to the individual, such as instruments and
books, or destruction of property not belonging to the individual.

• Forcible entry into University facilities.

• Intentional infliction or threat of bodily harm.

• Possession of illegal drugs or weapons.

• Aiding or Abetting: Includes conspiring with or knowingly aiding or abetting
another person to engage in any unacceptable activity.

Patient Treatment Areas:

1 . Informal attire such as denim jeans or shorts is not permitted. Clean athletic
shoes may only be worn with scrub attire.

2. All students will wear white clinic coats or disposable gowns, provided by the

clean white clinic coat and/or disposable gown is worn over the scrubs. Scrubs in
solid, dark colors (blues or greens, with the exception of navy blue, which is reserved
for faculty members) will be purchased and maintained by the individual. Individ-
uals choosing to wear scrubs for patient treatment may either change at school prior
to patient treatment or arrive and leave the building in scrub attire.

4. If scrub attire is not worn in the clinic setting, men and women will wear
attire appropriate for a professional environment. Men should wear clean, neat
slacks and a collared shirt with a necktie. Women who choose to wear skirts, split
skirts or dress shorts should select items with a length no shorter than two inches
above the knee. Socks, hose or tights should be worn. Open-toed shoes are not
appropriate for the patient treatment area.

5. Rings and wristwatches that may potentially penetrate gloves should not be
worn when providing patient treatment. Earrings should be studs, hoops or dan-
gles that hang no longer than one inch below the ear.

instruments, or equipment. Hair should be clean and neatly groomed. Hair longer
than chin/shoulder length should be worn away from the clinician's face.

research experience is not a requirement for membership.

The American Association of Dental Schools (AADS) promotes the advance-
ment of dental education, research and service in all appropriately accredited insti-
tutions that offer programs for dental personnel. The association has three
membership categories: institutional, individual and student. Student members
receive the Journal of Dental Education and the Dental Student News, published by
the association. During the year the local chapter conducts programs to promote
the goals of this organization.

The Gamma Pi Delta Prosthodontic Honorary Society, chartered in 1965, is
an honorary student dental organization with scholarship and interest in the field
of prosthetic dentistry as a basis for admission. The objective of the organization is
the advancement of prosthetic dentistry through lectures, table clinics and other
academic activities that stimulate the creative interest of students and the profes-
sion in general.

The Gorgas Odontological Honorary Society was organized in 1 9 1 6 as an hon-
orary student dental society with scholarship as a basis for admission. The society
was named after Dr. Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas, a pioneer in dental education, a teacher
of many years' experience and a major contributor to dental literature. It was with
the idea of perpetuating his name that the society chose its title.

Dental School. General dentists share extraordinary experiences in lecture-discus-
sion programs of interest to all. Meetings are held several times a year after school
hours.

The American Association of Women Dentists (AAWD) was founded nation-
ally in 1921. The Maryland student chapter, founded in 1982, provides support
and information locally to women dental students attending the Dental School.
Lectures, group discussions, projects and gatherings with practitioners and AAWD
chapters from other dental schools form the basis of the group's activities.

The American Society of Dentistry for Children meets once a month and uses
a lecture-discussion format to discuss subjects as varied as nutrition for children to
nitrous oxide analgesia in private practice. All students are welcome to join.

The Big Brother/Sister Program is a voluntary effort on the part of year II den-
tal students to help and advise members of the incoming year I class. It is hoped
that this assistance will continue through graduation of each class. The program has
been made an official standing committee of the SDA.

The Dental Hygiene Big Brother/Sister Program is a voluntary effort on the
part of each member of the senior class to help and advise a member of the junior
class. It is hoped that this assistance will continue through graduation of each class.

The Christian Dental Association, a chapter of the Christian Medical Society,
provides students with opportunities in the areas of community and world outreach
programs. In addition to holding Bible-study sessions and lectures, the group is
forming a network between practicing Christian dentists and dental students.

The Korean American Student Dental Association was established in 1993 to
provide dental education to the non-English speaking Korean community and to
help Korean dental students assimilate to the Dental School.

The University Student Government Association is a growing team of profes-
sional and graduate students dedicated to making University of Maryland, Balti-
more "a more perfect union." USGA was created to advocate on behalf of all the
University students.

Professional dental fraternities are Greek letter organizations of men and
women bonded by ritual. They are fraternities that limit membership to selected
graduates and students enrolled and satisfactorily pursuing courses in an accredited
college of dentistry. They are not honorary fraternities or recognition societies that
confer membership to recognize outstanding scholarship. Aims of professional
dental fraternities are to promote the high ideals and standards of the profession,
advance professional knowledge and welfare of members, and provide a medium
through which members with a common interest can develop lasting friendships.
Representative chapters in the Dental School are Alpha Omega, founded in 1907,
and Psi Omega, founded in 1892.

ential purposes will be made by the University at the time a student's application
for admission is under consideration. The determination made at that time, and
any determination made thereafter, shall prevail in each semester until the deter-
mination is successfully challenged.

Students classified as in-state for admission, tuition and charge-differential pur-
poses are responsible for notifying the Office of Records and Registration in writ-
ing within 15 days of any change in their circumstances that might affect their
classification.

Policy Statements

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND,
BALTIMORE MISSION STATEMENT

The I fnivcrsity ol Maryland aspires to advance knowledge in health care, law, so< ial
welfare and related disciplines through research, teaching and service; to promote
partnerships and develop interdisciplinary/interprofessional programs thai address
critical issues in these areas; to assist in the integration and transfer of new knowl-
edge; and to play a significant role in shaping health care, legal and social services
for Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region. The University's principal goal is to
become a center of focused excellence in professional, graduate and continuing
education and to promote excellence in research and scholarship, both basic and
applied.

Located in downtown Baltimore, the University is the public institution in
Maryland responsible for providing caring and competent professionals in den-
tistry, law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy and social work. It also offers combined
degree programs and is developing other interprofessional joint degree programs.
Along with its three major partners (the University of Maryland System, the Balti-
more Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and the Medical Biotechnology Center),
the University is one of the fastest growing biomedical research centers in the nation
and plays an important role in strengthening the infrastructure of the regional
economy.

As a constituent institution of the University of Maryland System, the Univer-
sity practices affirmative action, cooperates with other educational segments in
Maryland, collaborates with other UMS institutions to provide citizens access to
high quality educational services and serves the educational, economic and cultural
needs of Maryland.

The University and UMBC administer the programs of the University of Mary-
land Graduate School, Baltimore (UMGSB), one of the UMS' two principal cen-
ters for research and doctoral level training. While specific criteria for achieving
excellence vary from school to school, the University expects its faculty to teach, to
conduct research, and to practice their professional skills through clinical service,
community interaction and scholarship.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The University of Maryland is actively committed to providing equal educational
and employment opportunity in all of its programs. It is the goal of the University
to assure that women and minorities are equitably represented among the faculty,
staff and administration of the University, so that its work force reflects the diver-
sity of Maryland's population.

Policy Statements 125

All employment policies and activities of the University of Maryland, Baltimore
shall be consistent with federal and state laws, regulations and executive orders on
nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, ancestry or national ori-
gin, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, marital status and veteran status. Sexual
harassment, as a form of sex discrimination, is prohibited among the work force of
the University.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND POLICY CONCERNING
PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF STUDENT AND
EMPLOYEE INFECTION WITH BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS

The Dental School fully subscribes to the University of Maryland Policy Con-
cerning Prevention and Management of Student and Employee Infection with
Bloodborne Pathogens, which became effective July 1, 1994. All enrolled students
receive a copy of this policy statement as part of their matriculation documents.
Individuals seriously considering applying to any of the Dental School's programs
should request a copy of the policy from the Office of Admissions and Student
Affairs.

Section 6, Admissions and Hiring Practices, of the policy statement states:
"Inquiries about infection with HBV, HCV or HIV will not be made of prospec-
tive University of Maryland Personnel. Neither admission nor employment will be
denied any otherwise qualified individual on the basis of infection with Bloodborne
Pathogens. However, limitations on the training and professional activities which
may result from infection with Bloodborne Pathogens will be communicated to
prospective students and employees." (See next section.)

Section 7, Advice on Risks and Limitations, states: "... Applicants who are
infected with Bloodborne Pathogens are not required to identify themselves to the
University. Advice to applicants will be provided in a general form available to all
applicants. If infection with a specific Bloodborne Pathogen (e.g., HBV) could pre-
vent a person from completing the curriculum or subsequently practicing the
intended profession as a result of scientifically established contagion risk, this infor-
mation will be included in the general information which the school distributes to
applicants." Although information concerning applicants' status regarding blood-
borne pathogens is not a part of the admissions process, status of infection could
adversely impact individuals' ability to complete their education or their ability to
obtain future professional licensure. Applicants are specifically advised that the
Dental School does not admit individuals who have had prior infection with the
Hepatitis B virus or Hepatitis C virus which has left them chronic carriers of the
virus. These individuals must consider alternative career pathways.

All candidates for enrollment are strongly encouraged to know their status and
to seek professional advice if they have questions. The dean of the Dental School
has appointed an ombudsman or advocate to whom any applicant, student or
employee can go in confidence for advice on policies and procedures related to
infection with bloodborne pathogens and on the implications of testing and dis-

1 26 Baltimore College of Dental Surgery

closure fbi enrollment 01 employment status. Individuals with ipe< ifu questions 01
concerns are urged to seek advice from the Dental School's ombudsman.

Section l), Immunizations Against 1 IBV, states: "Students enrolling in acade
mic programs thai \v 1 1 1 involve participating in invasive oi exposure prone pr<
dures must be vaccinated against HBV at \\\cu own expense. Students nun be
\ act inated at Student and 1 mployee I lealth. I host- who were immunized priot to
enrollment must provide evidence ol immunization to the enrolling school.

Doctor of Dental Surgery and Bachelor of Science

in Dental Hygiene Applicants

Although students arc strongly encouraged to complete the three-shot 1 [epatitis B

immunization series prior to matriculation, entering students who have not been

appropriately immunized against HBV will receive their first vaccination during
Dental School orientation through Student and Employee Health. The second and
third vaccinations will occur at one-month and six-month intervals, respectively.
Students may not participate in clinical or other activities in which they may be
placed at occupational risk until at least one month after the second in the series of
HBV immunizations. Failure to complete the series in a timely manner could result
in delayed progress through the curriculum or dismissal from enrollment.

Advanced Dental Education Applicants

It is anticipated that most applicants for Advanced Dental Education programs will
have received the full three-shot series of HBV immunizations as pre-doctoral stu-
dents. For those individuals who have not completed the HBV immunization
series, Dental School policy requires that all Advanced Dental Education applicants
considering enrollment should begin the three-shot HBV immunization series no
later than May 1 of the year of matriculation. As a condition of enrollment, stu-
dents must provide documentation that they received the first in the series no later
than May 1 and the second no later than June 1. Those individuals may receive
their third immunization through Student and Employee Health at the appropri-
ate time after enrollment at the Dental School.

Treatment Participation Policy

As a part of the educational process, dental and dental hygiene students will be
required from time to time to satisfactorily participate in diagnostic, therapeutic,
and nontherapeutic oral health care services. Each student will be required to par-
ticipate as a caregiver and as the "patient." This requirement is disclosed prior to
admission. By enrolling, each student consents to this requirement. Student
patients may be provided care by any assigned student or faculty member. All per-
sonal health care information provided to the school by a student patient is confi-
dential in nature, will be treated with the confidentiality accorded a patient record
under Maryland health care laws and school policy, and will be used only in con-
nection with delivery of oral health care services. Exceptions to this required
participation in educational activities may be warranted in extraordinary circum-
stances, such as a high risk to the student patient or to the provider associated with
the delivery of treatment. Applicants or students with concerns about such situa-

Policy Statements 127

tions should contact the associate dean for clinical affairs, who has the final author-
ity to determine when exceptions will be granted.

SERVICE TO THOSE WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASES

It is the policy of the University of Maryland to provide education and training to
students for the purpose of providing care and service to all people. The institution
will employ appropriate precautions to protect providers in a manner meeting the
patients' or clients' requirements while also protecting the interest of students and
faculty members participating in the provision of such care or service.

No student will be permitted to refuse to provide care or service to any assigned
person in the absence of special circumstances placing the student at increased risk
for an infectious disease. Any student who refuses to treat or serve an assigned per-
son without prior consent of the school involved will be subject to penalties under
appropriate academic procedures; such penalties to include suspension or dis-
missal.

FACULTY, STUDENT AND INSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

Preamble

The academic enterprise is characterized by reasoned discussion between student

tual honesty in the pursuit of new knowledge. By tradition, students and teachers
have certain rights and responsibilities which they bring to the academic commu-
nity. While the following statements do not imply a contract between the teacher
or the institution and the student, they are nevertheless conventions which should
be central to the learning and teaching process.

Faculty Rights and Responsibilities

assistance, tutorial assistance, typing assistance, or such special assistance as may
be specified or approved by the appropriate faculty members, is allowed.

6. Students shall make all reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of academic
dishonesty. They shall by their own example encourage academic integrity and
shall themselves refrain from acts of cheating and plagiarism or other acts of aca-
demic dishonesty.

7. When instances of academic dishonesty are suspected, students shall have the
right and responsibility to bring this to the attention of one of the co-chairs of
the Student Judicial Board.

Institutional Responsibility

1 . Constituent institutions of the University of Maryland System shall take appro-
priate measures to foster academic integrity in the classroom.

2. Each institution shall take steps to define acts of academic dishonesty, to ensure
procedures for due process for students accused or suspected of acts of academic
dishonesty, and to impose appropriate sanctions on students found to be guilty
of acts of academic dishonesty.

3. Students expelled or suspended for reasons of academic dishonesty by any insti-
tution in the University of Maryland System shall not be admitted to any other
system institution during the period of expulsion or suspension.

Approved, November 30, 1989 by the Board of Regents

Policy Statements I 29

REVIEW OF ALLEGED ARBITRARY
AND CAPRICIOUS GRADING

It is the policy of the University of Maryland, Baltimore that students be provided
a mechanism to review course grades that are alleged to be arbitrary or capricious.
Each school/academic unit shall develop guidelines and procedures to provide a
means for a student to seek review of course grades. These guidelines and proce-
dures shall be published regularly in the appropriate media so that all faculty and
students are informed about this policy.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISCLOSURE

OF STUDENT RECORDS

It is the policy of the University of Maryland to adhere to the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment). As such, it is the policy of the Uni-
versity (1) to permit students to inspect their education records, (2) to limit dis-
closure to others of personally identifiable information from education records
without students' prior written consent and (3) to provide students the opportu-
nity to seek correction of their education records where appropriate. Each school
shall develop policies to ensure that this policy is implemented.

SCHEDULING OF ACADEMIC ASSIGNMENTS

ON DATES OF RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE

It is the policy of the University of Maryland to excuse the absence(s) of students
that result from the observance of religious holidays. Students shall be given the
opportunity, whenever feasible, to make up, within a reasonable time, any aca-
demic assignments that are missed due to individual participation in religious
observances. Opportunities to make up missed academic assignments shall be
timely and shall not interfere with the regular academic assignments of the student.
Each school/academic unit shall adopt procedures to ensure implementation of this
policy.

ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER AT

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

A student may register at the University when the following conditions are met:
(1) the student is accepted to the University, (2) the student has received approval

1 30 Baltimore College of Dental Surgery

from (Ik* unit academic administratoi and I \) the student has demonstrated
demic and finan< i.il eligibility.

REFUND OF TUITION AND FEES UPON WITHDRAWAL

Refund requests of students who withdraw completely from tin- University ol
Mar) land must be processed through the Office of Records and Registration on the
third door ol the Baltimore Student Union. The amount ol tuition and fees t<> be
refunded to the student is dependent on time completed in the relevant semester.
I n accordance with Federal regulations, there arc two refund policies in effcc I at
the Universit) ol Maryland, Baltimore.

I. First Time Students

A. Students who are attending the University for the first time, i.e., who have
registered for their first semester on this campus in any program or school,
and withdraw on or before the 60 percent point of enrollment (e.g., during or
before the ninth week of a 1 5 week semester) will be refunded according to
the required pro rata formula. (After the 60 percent point in the semester, no
refund is due the student.)

B. Pro rata refunds require the University to return an amount proportional
to the portion of the enrollment not yet completed by the student. In the case
of uneven portions of enrollment remaining, the refund is rounded down to
the nearest 10 percent. Any unpaid charges are deducted from the refund
amount. If the student has received aid for the semester, the aid is repaid first;
any remaining balance goes to the student.

C. For example, consider the following information:

Bob Jones is a first time student at the University. His tuition and fees of
$5,000.00 for the Fall semester are paid with a $3,500.00 Federal Stafford
Loan and a $1,000.00 Federal Perkins Loan. The $500.00 remaining balance
is Bob's responsibility and has not yet been paid.

After completing five weeks of the fifteen week semester, Bob withdraws.
Bob withdrew at the 33 percent point of his first enrollment period at the
University, well before 60 percent had elapsed, thus a pro rata refund is
required. Since Bob withdrew with 67 percent of the enrollment period (10
weeks/ 1 5 weeks) remaining, we round down to 60 percent. Bob is due a pro
rata refund totaling $2,500.00 (0.60 X $5,000 = $3,000, less the $500 unpaid
charges). Loans are refunded in the order prescribed by federal regulations (see
listed order below, Section II. B. (1)). The $2,500.00 check would be
returned by the University to the bank as a credit towards Bob's Stafford
Loan. Were Bob's refund in excess of $3,500.00, the remainder of the funds
would be credited towards his Perkins Loan.

II. All Students Not First Time

A. Students not enrolled in their first semester on this campus are eligible for
refunds upon withdrawal according to the following schedule:

Policy Statements

(1) Withdrawal on or before the first scheduled day of class: 100 percent
refund and cancellation of registration.

(2) Withdrawal after the first scheduled day of class through 10 percent of
the semester: 90 percent refund.

(3) Withdrawal after the first 10 percent through the first 25 percent of the
semester: 50 percent refund.

(4) Withdrawal after the first 25 percent through the first 50 percent of the
semester: 25 percent refund.

(5) Withdrawal after the first 50 percent of the semester: No refund.
Schedules indicating the cut-off dates each semester for every level of

refund will be made available by the Office of Student Accounts.

B. (1) Students who received financial aid to pay for the tuition and fees

assessed will have refunds returned to the aid program from which the

charges were paid in the following order:

Federal SLS Loan

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan

Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan

Federal PLUS Loan

Federal Perkins Loan

Federal Pell Grant

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant

Institutional Loans, HPSL, etc.

Maryland State Scholarship Programs

Institutional Scholarship Programs

Private Scholarship Programs

(2) Refund amounts over and above those amounts repaid to the various aid
programs will be returned to the student.

(3) In calculating the Federal refund, any unpaid charges owed by the stu-
dent will remain as the student's responsibility and will not be covered
by any Federal aid received.

C. Continuing with our example from Section I above:

Bob Jones is now in his second year at the University. His tuition and
fees of $5,000.00 for the Fall Semester are paid with a $3,500.00 Fed-
eral Stafford Loan and a $1,000.00 Federal Perkins Loan. The $500.00
remaining balance is Bob's responsibility and has not yet been paid.
After completing five weeks of the 15 week semester, Bob withdraws.
Since Bob is no longer in his first semester at the University, his refund
is not pro rata. Using the applicable Federal refund policy, Bob is enti-
tled to a 25 percent refund (0.25 X $5,000 = $1,250). The refund of
$ 1 ,250.00 dollars is returned as per the required order listed above. Thus,
a check for $1,250.00 will be issued to the bank as a credit toward Bob's
Stafford Loan. The remaining $500.00 balance is a charge on Bob's
account receivable and continues to be his personal responsibility.
Any number of situations requiring more complex refund calculations than

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND POSITION ON ACTS
OF VIOLENCE AND EXTREMISM WHICH ARE RACIALLY,
ETHNICALLY, RELIGIOUSLY OR POLITICALLY MOTIVATED

The Board of Regents strongly condemns criminal acts of destruction or violence
against the person or property of others. Individuals committing such acts at any
campus or facility of the University will be subject to swift campus judicial and per-
sonnel action, including possible expulsion or termination, as well as possible state-
criminal proceedings.

HUMAN RELATIONS CODE

The University of Maryland has a Human Relations Code for use by the entire cam-
pus community. The code represents the University's commitment to human rela-
tions issues. The specific purposes of the code include:

1 . Prevention or elimination of unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color,
creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ancestry or national origin,
physical or mental handicap, or exercise of rights secured by the First
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; and

2. Establishing a timely, effective grievance procedure as an alternative to more
lengthy formal processes for resolution of human relations issues.

A Human Relations Committee was created to oversee the code. It is comprised
of campus faculty, administrators and students and is advisory to the president of
the campus. The committee may institute educational programs and provide an
open forum on human relations issues. In addition, the committee is charged with
maintaining a mediation, investigation and hearing process for specific complaints
of discrimination brought by students, faculty or staff. The code describes the par-
ticulars of the hearing process. It is the intent of the code to provide a grievance pro-
cedure for any individual on campus who wants a cross-section of the campus
community to investigate and mediate a problem without having to resort to com-
plaints to external agencies such as the Maryland Commission on Human Rela-
tions, complaints under personnel rules or lawsuits.

Policy Statements 133

Copies of the Human Relations Code are available in the clean's office, the
student affairs and USGA offices in the Baltimore Student Union, and the human
resources management and affirmative action offices in the administration
building.

POLICY AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF STUDENTS

I . Policy

The University of Maryland prohibits sexual harassment of students by colleagues
or faculty members. Sexual harassment is an infringement of an individual's right
to work and study in an environment free from unwanted sexual attention and sex-
ual pressure of any kind. It can result in a significant human resource drain for the
University and hinder the scholastic efforts of students.

II. Definition of Sexual Harassment

The University has adopted the definition of sexual harassment used by the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Unwelcome sexual advances,
unwelcome requests for sexual favors and other behavior of a sexual nature consti-
tute sexual harassment when:

A. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or con-
dition of an individual's employment by the University or an individual's par-
ticipation in a University educational program,

B. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis
for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual, or

C. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an indi-
vidual's academic or work performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile
or offensive educational or working environment.

III. Examples of Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment can include any or all of the following behaviors, as well as oth-
ers which are not listed:

A. Harassment through public or private insult, sexually suggestive comments con-
cerning a person's body or behavior and sexual demands.

B. Subtle or overt pressure to comply with demands of sexual activity.

C. Remarks about another person's clothing, body, sexual activities, sexual prefer-
ences or sexual orientation, as well as teasing, jokes, remarks or gestures that are
sexual in nature.

D. Unnecessary touching, pinching, patting or exposure of another person's body.

E. Unwarranted staring at another person's body.

F. Unwanted communications of a sexual nature in writing, by telephone or by
other means.

G. Requests or demands for sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt threats
about job, grades, clinical assignments, class academic assignments, recommen-
dations, etc.

Students' Remedies

Sexual harassment of students by students 01 faculty or si. it! members will not be
tolerated. Proven harassment will result in disciplinary .kudu, possibly including
suspension, expulsion 01 dismissal.

Student questions about peer 01 faculty behavior that ma) constitute sexual
harassment and student questions about disciplinary policies should be directed to
IV. Patricia Sokolove, assistant vice president for Student Affairs, at k6 8323, to
the campus manager ol Affirmative Action at x6 7302 or to the student affairs (.lean
of the school involved.

A complaint of sexual harassment may be made initially to a school's dean, the
appropriate disciplinary body of the school, or the assistant vice president for Stu-
dent Affairs. The assistant vice president for Student Affairs should be notified of
any complaint filed with another office. Investigation of complaints will be made-
through appropriate school judicial bodies whenever feasible. If a complaint
involves people from more than one school, the assistant vice president for student
affairs will work with the deans of the schools involved to develop an appropriate
investigational process.

Timely reporting of allegations of sexual harassment is crucial. It permits effec-
tive University intervention to protect students and educate and discipline offend-
ers. Incidents of sexual harassment should be documented promptly and reported
as soon as practical. Reporting within the time limits set in a school's judicial pol-
icy is strongly encouraged. Reporting an incident of harassment more than 30 days
after it occurs can hinder the ability of the University to investigate the matter. Nev-
ertheless, the University will investigate any complaint filed within a reasonable
time. Institutional investigations of sexual harassment charges often require the
complainant's identity to be known by the accused. However, complainants should
be aware that the University will not tolerate or condone any form of retaliation
against a student complainant whose sexual harassment claim is made in good faith.

The Counseling Center can be useful in helping students cope with the stress
resulting from sexual harassment or participating in campus proceedings to inves-
tigate sexual harassment charges. Call x8-8404 for more information about the
campus counseling service.

Through the assistant vice president for Student Affairs, the student affairs dean
of each school or the managers of Affirmative Action, sexual harassment educa-
tional programs for students can be arranged.

assault and the provision of sexual assault procedures to those individuals who

been sexually assaulted may choose to report the matter to an individual, either
on or off campus, with whom they are comfortable. Two off-campus organiza-
tions offering assistance to victims of sexual assault are the Sexual Assault
Recovery Center and the House of Ruth. However, the campus encourages an
alleged victim to report a sexual assault to one of the following campus-based

Kevin Ferentz, director of Student and Employee Health; (3) Dr. Patricia
Sokolove, assistant vice president for Student Affairs; or (4) Detective Mary

tial contact will assist the alleged victim at his/her request with: (1) notification
of off-campus authorities; (2) obtaining medical attention, including providing
transportation; (3) access to counseling both on and off campus; (4) notifica-
tion of the appropriate school disciplinary board and student affairs office, if the

sidered to be in the best interest of the University.
