Summary: Dr. Rena M. D’Souza, dean of the University of Utah’s new School of Dentistry, says the stars are aligned for creating a top program that produces not just technically excellent dentists but also researchers and thinkers who advance knowledge in their field. But more than that, she wants to prepare compassionate dentists who give back to their communities in ways such as caring for those who are economically disadvantaged and lack basic dental care.
