Dartmouth has a long tradition of academic excellence, a reputation for especially close faculty\/student interactions, and a strong sense of community that enriches the educational experience of our students. The opportunity to study in a close community, combined with hands-on experience in a variety of clinical settings, allows for personal growth and inspired learning.<\/p>\n
