A “certificate-only” pathway is not available. The program begins around the first of July and finishes at the end of August 26 months later, for example, 1 July 2016 through 31 August 2018.

Vision

Graduates of the program will become proficient clinicians and leaders in endodontics. They will promote optimal health through education, patient care, research and service.

What is endodontics?

According to the American Association of Endodontists, endodontists are specialists in saving teeth, committed to helping you maintain your natural smile for a lifetime. Endodontists have at least two years of additional education after dental school to become experts in performing root canal treatment and diagnosing and treating tooth pain.
