We will continuously pursue excellence and innovation in our endeavors while embracing the qualities of diversity, collegiality, integrity and leadership through individual and group effort. Our pursuits in education, patient care, research, service and outreach will support the missions of our academic health center and University.

Through our efforts, the School of Dental Medicine (SDM) envisions itself a valued state resource and a leading institution in dental education, research and patient care. To accomplish this, we will be a model for how a dental school functions within an academic health center and for our interface with the School and profession of Medicine. Our students, faculty and staff will view the SDM as a welcoming, collegial and professional place to work and study. Our health care providers will have the highest respect for the patients they serve and our patients will appreciate the quality of the care received and for the manner delivered. Collectively, we will embrace excellence and innovation in all areas of our Mission and will aim for integration and synergy in our teaching, research, patient care and service/outreach efforts. Alumni and professional organizations will recognize us as an important partner while the state of Connecticut and its agencies will view us as a key ally in improving the health of its citizens, particularly the underserved and disadvantaged.
