158 YEARS!!! Happy birthday to HSDM. Proud to be faculty at this prestigious institution!
Today we celebrate 158 years of HSDM! 🎉
Founded on July 17, 1867, Harvard Dental School became the first dental school in the U.S. to be affiliated with a university and its medical school, and the first to grant the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree.
Since then, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine has been at the forefront of dental education, research, and patient care—shaping the field with innovation, leadership, and a commitment to excellence.
