The University of Louisville School of Dentistry (ULSD) enjoys a rich heritage in dental education and a reputation for clinical excellence that reaches back to the 1800s.

More than 100,000 patient visits occur each year at the Dental School. Under the leadership of the School’s Community Dental Health program, its faculty, staff, and students provide millions of dollars of dental services to the underserved each year and participate in a myriad of initiatives to promote oral health. The Dental School is also a leader in oral and craniofacial research with world-class faculty members recognized for their contributions to advancing the disciplines that complement the profession. ULSD has top researchers in areas including craniofacial developmental biology, microbiology/immunology, pharmacology/toxicology, maxillofacial radiology, and dental materials.

Hard-charging, collaborative, spirited, results-oriented professionals will help us dramatically grow our fundraising results, build a team-first, open, and celebratory culture, and execute on the UofL Foundation’s and the university’s growing investment in PAE." — Jim Broschart, Vice President of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement
