History and Biography
In 1916, the Columbia University Faculty of Medicine urged the founding of a dental school “along University lines,” which resulted in the Board of Trustees approving a four-year course with the first two courses identical to the medical course. On July 1, 1923, Columbia University School of Dentistry merged with the College of Dental and Oral Surgery of New York (founded in 1892) which was renamed the School of Dental and Oral Surgery (SDOS) to reflect the union of the two schools. SDOS was further renamed the College of Dental Medicine (CDM) in 2006.
