Advanced Education Programs
The College of Dentistry offers Advanced Education Programs that lead
to proficiency in major areas of clinical study and satisfy the educational
requirements for specialization and/or specialty board certification.
Advanced education certificate programs are offered in the clinical specialties
of endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics and dentofacial
orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics. Program
length is one to six years, depending on the area of specialization.
Applicants should have previously demonstrated excellent achievements
at an accredited dental school.
The Advanced Education Programs at New York University
College of Dentistry build on the knowledge base of
a predoctoral education and go on to broaden the understanding
of the biomedical sciences and their application to
clinical dentistry. The social issues related to the
general health and well being of the public are also
presented as part of the advanced education curriculum.
The educational program also establishes high standards
of ethics and professional conduct while fostering
appreciation for our multicultural society. Our students
are exposed to pedagogical theory and have the opportunity
to teach while they are learning.
A characteristic of all of our programs is an interdisciplinary
approach to patient care. Our large and diverse patient
pool provides a unique resource for students. Our clinics
use the latest technology used in patient care. Our
exceptional programs exist in an environment that is
characterized by a supportive and nurturing faculty.
The NYUCD faculty includes world-class clinicians and
researchers in every specialty who are committed to
the welfare of our students and patients.
