Line Item: Regional Dental Education Program

Function

The Regional Dental Education Program (RDEP) is a cooperative dental education program between the University of Utah and Creighton University's School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska. There is also an 'At Large' tuition reimbursement program. The RDEP currently has twenty positions available each year for Utah residents. Ten students admitted to the Creighton program will receive their first year of instruction at the University of Utah and the remainder of their training will take place at the dental school at Creighton University. The ten 'At Large' students can be trained at an accredited dental program of their choosing. The program will reimburse student tuition from $15,000 to $16,000 upon the completion of dental training, including graduate programs, if the recipient returns to practice dentistry in the State for a specific time period.
