Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM) is committed to building and sustaining a care-centered climate, a culture of care, which uplifts the dignity and full humanity of each community member in their wholeness and multidimensional self, with attention to the socioemotional dimensions of lived experiences. We strive to cultivate a climate characterized by empathy, curiosity, generous listening, clarity, self-regulation, agency, and belonging. 

At Tufts, we believe that when everyone can be their best, we all grow stronger together.
