The PNWU School of Dental Medicine (SDM) desires to recruit prospective students from rural and underserved areas, underrepresented groups, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Some potential students may be non-traditional, having been in the workforce since completing their post-secondary education. Returning to school to fulfill admissions prerequisites may be challenging. The SDM will guarantee interviews for PNWU Master of Arts in Medical Sciences (MAMS) students who meet the following requirements. Completing the MAMS program will fulfill the biomedical science course prerequisites for admission to the Doctor of Dental Medicine Program.
