The department of Dental Medicine is devoted to excelling a diverse, equal and inclusive environment to educate our students and provide care to our community. We work in conjunction with the HSC Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
Founded in 1889, the University of New Mexico sits on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia. The original peoples of New Mexico – Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache – since time immemorial, have deep connections to the land and have made significant contributions to the broader community statewide. We honor the land itself and those who remain stewards of this land throughout the generations and also acknowledge our committed relationship to Indigenous peoples. We gratefully recognize our history.
Dental Medicine is aligned with the HSC Office for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion.
