Internationalization of the Master’s and Doctoral Programs in Dentistry

The SLMANDIC Graduate Program in Dentistry, through institutional investment, has been strengthening its international partnerships, thereby increasing the visibility of the SLMANDIC Graduate Program in Dentistry.

Currently, the SLMANDIC Graduate Program in Dentistry has the following partners for scientific research and faculty and student mobility:

• Calltech (USA)
• Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium)
• Dental School at Paris Descartes University (France)
• Hillsborough Community College (USA)
• Indiana University (USA)
• King’s College London, Guy’s Hospital (England)
• London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (England)
• Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine (USA)

• University of Pavia (Italy)
• University of California (USA)
• University of Florida (USA)
• University of Illinois (USA)
• University of Toronto (Canada)

It is the institution’s commitment to ensure all the necessary infrastructure to achieve these objectives and to demonstrate the institution’s commitment to internationalization; SLMANDIC established an Internationalization Committee responsible for organizing international agreements and partnerships related to education, faculty and student mobility, as well as coordinating activities focused on cooperation and exchange programs.

With a view to internationalization and increasing international scientific exchange among faculty and students, the SLMANDIC Professional Master’s Program has encouraged faculty exchanges with internationally recognized universities of research excellence through paid postdoctoral fellowships. In addition, teaching courses and presenting scientific papers at international events are strongly encouraged within the institution. There is an internal regulation that provides financial resources to cover conference registration fees, airfare, and lodging for students and faculty. Check it out:
