Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) is a higher education institution focused on dental education, research, and patient care. Located in Boston's Longwood Medical Area, it is the only Harvard school that operates its own clinical facility and offers direct patient care. Founded in 1867, HSDM holds the distinction of being the first U.S. dental school to join a university and medical school, and the first to confer the DMD degree. Its stated aim is to set a standard of excellence in interdisciplinary dental education and to advance a research continuum spanning basic, clinical, and translational work, with the goal of improving both oral and systemic health. It serves students seeking advanced dental training, researchers pursuing innovations across dental and medical science, and patients benefiting from state-of-the-art clinical services. As part of the higher education sector and within the Harvard ecosystem, HSDM positions itself at the intersection of education, clinical practice, and discovery, with a commitment to developing global leaders in oral and systemic health.
