Dental Community Fellowship (DCF) began at the Medical University of South Carolina as a Christian outreach to pre-doctoral and doctoral dental students. It is chartered as a non-profit local chapter of the Christian Medical and Dental Associations (cmda.org).
Several times a year trips are scheduled to foreign countries where participants are taught the use of portable equipment to render care including tooth cleaning, basic restorative care, and dental extractions. Participants from all classes are invited.
