Adapting for group practice pedagogy

Tufts University School of Dental Medicine

Following the successful five story vertical expansion of its teaching facility, Tufts School of Dental Medicine retained ARC to develop a new master plan for the school’s pre-doctoral clinics. The subsequent renovation marked the first time the pre-doctoral clinics had been expanded since moving into the existing building in 1973. The project added fifty-four operatories; divided among four group practices and an emergency clinic with six operatories. The redesigned clinics also added an oral and maxillofacial radiology suite, a dispensary and a pre-doctoral satellite lab facilitating simple lab procedures during patient visits.

The design of the new clinic floor included a teaching station which allowed the four practice groups to meet each day and review case studies presented by clinic instructors.

Separate reception desks were provided for the individual student group practices to facilitate patient arrivals and simulate real-life practice.

I appreciate the beauty and positive feel of the space. While it is a large and busy clinic space seeing 150 patients per day the colors and traffic flow create an environment of calm and efficient community.

The new enlarge operatories nearly doubled the space for third and fourth year students.

A new Emergency Clinic was designed to operate separately from the pre-doctoral clinics with its own reception area and specialized operatories.
