Impact of the University of Colorado's Advanced Clinical Training and Service (ACTS) Program on dental students' clinical experience and cognitive skills, 1994-2006.

The University of Colorado Denver School of Dental Medicine has operated a community-based dental education program for all of its students since 1985.
