This two-year program aims to educate dental hygienists in teaching fundamental and clinical science subjects (such as oral histology and pathology) within dental hygiene curricula. Typically spanning 8 quarters and requiring a minimum of 70 credit hours, the program's primary objective is to prepare dental hygienists for instructional roles. Participants gain extensive education in both theoretical and practical sciences, engage in specialized patient care, and conduct research. While no thesis is required, students must finish a culminating research project.
