Imagine a dental school where students don’t just learn clinical skills; they’re immersed in entrepreneurship, advocacy, and real-world healthcare integration from day one.

In this episode, Dr. Ali Shazib shares how his team is transforming dental education by integrating medical and dental training through the C.A.R.E. Curriculum (Clinician, Advocate, Researcher, Entrepreneur), which equips students with a patient-centered education focused on life skills, entrepreneurship, and collaboration. His model includes the High Point University Health Oral Health Network, a clinical network connected through Epic’s EHR, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in practice acquisition and patient care while seamlessly collaborating with other healthcare systems to meet the needs of an evolving healthcare landscape.
