Mission statement: To increase the workforce of dental professionals who treat under-served and at-risk patients by creating a learning environment in the School of Dental Medicine where students are able to expand their personal and professional insights and gain experience by working in a variety of cultural and community settings. SCOPE 2 is an experiential process whereby students are able to shape and develop their clinical skills by providing clinical dentistry to patients in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and non-profit clinics throughout western Pennsylvania and parts of Ohio. The selected extramural clinics provide opportunities to work with patients in under-served communities, where both professional and personal growth are enabled, along with the development of other culturally competent skills.
