Service
DCG students give over 9,500 hours of their time to various service activities each year on average.
Community-Based Clerkship Experience
Community-based clinical partnerships are clinical sites that have carefully selected many qualifications including having one or more experienced dental practitioners willing to provide oversight, guidance and mentorship.
In November 2020, DCG students, faculty and staff participated in the Augusta University Day of Service adding to the total of over 1,100 members of the AU family serving that day.
