The 24-month program begins July 1 and leads to certification in oral and maxillofacial radiology. The 30-month program leads to certification in oral and maxillofacial radiology and a master of science degree in oral biology. A separate application process is required for admission into the master's program.
The curriculum is designed so that at the completion of the program, the graduate will be eligible to take the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology exam. If accepted into the master of science in oral biology program, additional courses and original research are required. On satisfactory completion of a thesis and the required courses, the master of science degree will be awarded.
One student is accepted into the program per year. Applicants with a D.D.S./D.M.D. degree from a school accredited by the American Dental Association or Canadian Dental Association are preferred. Graduates of dental programs not so accredited will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
