TUSDM Health Literacy Intensive is designed specifically for first- and second-year dental students. This Intensive is an educational leadership opportunity that will enable participants to gain health literacy-related experience, knowledge, and skills beyond the traditional classroom setting.

Successful completion of the TUSDM Health Literacy Intensive is expected to facilitate a smoother transition into patient care.  Health literacy is defined here as “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.” 

All D24 and D25 students are invited to apply; however, please note that the Intensive is open to a maximum of 18 students. Selections will be based on the application found in the following link:  https://tufts.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ezH7KXlOv4fTRZ4
