Boston University's advanced pediatric dentistry program aims to develop highly skilled specialists capable of delivering comprehensive oral healthcare for children from infancy through adolescence, including those with special needs, while considering family, cultural, and community factors. The curriculum prepares graduates to practice in diverse environments including hospitals, private clinics, and public health facilities.
Earning the MSD degree demands at least one extra year beyond the CAGS in Pediatric Dentistry, involving original research, thesis preparation, and a formal defense.
The 24-month CAGS program combines University instruction with extensive clinical training at Boston Medical Center, Franciscan Children's Hospital, and East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, providing well-rounded hospital and community experience.
