== About == The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry is a worldwide leader in clinical care that is patient-centered and evidence-based, with a foundation in preventive and public health sciences; integrated education programs based on advanced technology; and interdisciplinary, innovative research. The mission of the college is to promote optimum oral and general health to the people of the State of Illinois and worldwide. Striving for perfection in education, patient care, research, and service helps us to achieve that goal. The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry evolved from the Columbian Dental College, founded in Chicago in 1891. The College informally affiliated with the University of Illinois in 1901, and was chartered as an official College of the University in 1913. Since then, the College has endeavored to provide the most current technology to students, and often the College’s innovations in teaching and clinical programs have been models for dental schools throughout the country. As part of a public University, the College has a commitment to community oral health outreach service and to serving the under-served, providing nearly $1 million in uncompensated care to indigent dental patients annually. With an emphasis on pediatric dentistry, faculty and students participate in health fairs and clinics in elementary schools, long-term care facilities, churches, and Head Start programs. The College also provides dental services for senior citizens and children in collaboration with the Chicago Department of Public Health. More than 100,000 patients are treated each year in the College’s clinics.〔University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry About Us page〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
