To emphasize the importance of Physiology to Clinical Dentistry, Physiological Applications (PA) modules were developed in collaboration with clinical faculty from the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. PAs provide students with experience in reading the scientific literature and answering basic sciences questions that are fundamental to understanding clinical case studies.
