About Soh Yeun Eileen Kim, DDS

As a Course Director/Instructor of Patient-Centered Care II at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, Division of General Dentistry, my special interest is in teaching first and second year dental students and ensuring they will be well-prepared clinicians to operate effectively in the clinic as they start patient care at the end of their second year.

I have been enjoying working with dental students both in classroom and clinical settings. In my course, students learn how to assess patients, diagnose problems and create integrated treatment plans. Students also practice various activities wtih each other in clinical settings before they start their own patient care.  It is particularly rewarding for me to observe students' growth from novice clinicians to confident clinicians.
