The School of Dentistry is part of the University of Utah system of hospitals and clinics, with a catchment area encompassing more than 10% of the continental US, over 25 million people , and six states. Collaborators within our health system include Huntsman Mental Health Institute, Huntsman Cancer Institute, the University of Utah Hospital, and the Rose Park Population Health Center.
Integrated Care
17 percent of our dental visits occur at one of four integrated clinics, where we provide dental care alongside primary medical care, behavioral health care, and other services. Integrated care across University of Utah Health system is possible because of our shared electronic health record (Epic).
