Expanding dental education In September 2024, VSDS announced a partnership with the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) — backed by Senators Sanders and Welch — to bring a CODA-accredited Dental Oral Health Education Center to Vermont. Students will complete two years of foundational study at UDM's Detroit campus followed by two clinical years at a new Vermont-based clinic, with a tentative Chittenden County (Colchester) location, targeting the 2027 academic year and aiming to expand Vermont's dentist pipeline.
