General InformationGoals and ObjectivesProgram Profile

General information
Pediatric dentistry--professional certificate and/or masters
The advanced education program in pediatric dentistry is designed to prepare the student as a specialist in this area of dentistry. The curriculum leads to a certificate in pediatric dentistry. Clinical pediatric dentistry is emphasized. However, this clinical experience is balanced with a didactic curriculum of core courses and seminars. There is also a research component designed to expose the student to problem solving using the scientific method.

The program requires a minimum of twenty-four months in residence beginning July 1. The program fulfills the requirements for beginning the process of certification by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Following enrollment into the program, residents may apply for acceptance to the Graduate School for a master's degree in addition to the specialty certificate awarded by the School of Dentistry. The application must be supported by a letter of recommendation from the program director. Acceptance into the master's degree program may extend the length of study.
