The program strives to provide a full range of clinical experiences in pediatric dental care which are supported by an evidenced based analysis of the specialties knowledge base. The resident is assured of extensive clinical opportunities in behavior management, conscious sedation, hospital dentistry and general anesthesia, pediatric medicine, care of developmentally and medically compromised children, trauma management, growth and development, orthodontic diagnosis and biomechanics, craniofacial anomalies, and other special areas of pediatric dental care. The clinical experiences are supported by a structured didactic curriculum in the form of lectures, seminars, and laboratory designed to encourage critical thinking at the specialty level of education in pediatric dentistry. The overall curriculum goal is to prepare our graduates with the knowledge base and clinical skills to enter the practice and pediatric dentistry as well as prepare for future growth.
