Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Pediatric Dentistry
The goal of the Boston University Advanced Education Program in Pediatric Dentistry is to prepare educational qualified pediatric dentists who are competent in providing both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral healthcare for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special healthcare needs, in the context of family, culture, and community. Students are trained to provide services in institutional, private, and/or public health settings.
The curriculum is structured according to the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation's requirements for Advanced Graduate Study in Pediatric Dentistry. The program is fully accredited by the commission. Students are prepared to become American Board of Pediatric Dentistry certified during the clinical and didactic programs.
The CAGS in Pediatric Dentistry is a 24-month, University-based, postgraduate program. In addition to the University-based component, significant hospital and community-based clinical experience is gained at Boston Medical Center, Franciscan Children's Hospital, and East Boston Neighborhood Health Center.
