认识到对牙科，管理学等知识学科和实践教育的领导者的迫切需求，哈佛牙科医学院（HSDM）和哈佛商学院（HBS）于2009年建立了MBA / DMD计划。该计划的任务是培养在牙科和管理方面都精通的杰出牙医领导者，以发挥影响力，从而为个人和社会的健康和福祉做出重大贡献。MBA / DMD课程的课程严格基于基本的管理概念，包括策略，经济学，金融，市场营销，运营等，以及牙科的核心科学学科，例如口腔医学，病理生理学和相关研究。结合这些学科的机会推动了教师的积极性和学位候选人的野心。
In recognition of the critical need for leaders who are educated in the intellectual disciplines and practices of dentistry and management, Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) and Harvard Business School (HBS) established an MBA/DMD program in 2009. The program's mission is to develop outstanding dentist leaders, skilled in both dentistry and management, to take positions of influence through which they will contribute substantially to the health and well-being of individuals and society. The curriculum of the MBA/DMD program is rigorously grounded in fundamental management concepts-including strategy, economics, finance, marketing, operations, and more-and the core science disciplines of dentistry, such as oral medicine, pathophysiology, and related studies. The opportunity to combine these disciplines drives the enthusiasm of faculty and the ambitions of degree candidates.
