About the Certificate Program
Our advanced education residency program in endodontics prepares dentists for a career in clinical endodontics, research or teaching. We educate dentists to become competent clinical endodontists who serve the public and the profession at a high level of excellence.
The program stresses the importance of knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases associated with the dental pulp and related periapical tissues. Didactic and clinical training is also conducted in related areas within the scope of practice of the field of endodontics as established by the Endodontic Standards of the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
The correlation of basic sciences and clinical sciences is an integral part of the program. A research project is required and comprehensive oral examinations must be successfully completed.
