• Clinical practice integrated from first year in UCV clinics and clinical assistive teams.
• Laboratory-based practical training to develop clinical competencies and manual skills.
• Bioethics and a broad approach to patient care as part of the core formation.
• Opportunities to add certificates such as the International Programme in Dentistry and extension modules (science and entrepreneurship).
