The Periodontics Preceptorship seeks to provide advanced education in periodontics for an improved understanding of periodontology and surgical implantology. Designed for foreign-trained dentists, this program teaches preceptors the knowledge and skills necessary for comprehensive evaluation and treatment of patients with a variety of periodontal diseases and conditions.
A series of seminars and lecture courses are available each quarter. The preceptor can discuss with the program director his/her educational interests and needs and an effort will be made to prepare a program that meets those needs.
A certificate of attendance is awarded upon successful completion of the program. This certificate is not the same as the postgraduate program certificate awarded to full-time international postgraduates in specialty training as a qualification for recognition by the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
