The Children’s Hospital of Michigan Pediatric Dentistry Residency Program enrolls a culturally diverse resident population from all regions of the United States.  Our residents are independent and hard-working, goal driven and possess strong clinical skills.

 

Children’s Hospital of Michigan serves a diverse socioeconomic demographic including urban and suburban patient populations. Patients seen are usually from birth to adolescence, low income, with extreme pathology.  There is also a community aspect to the program, serving patients who are unable to receive care anywhere else.

 

The Children’s Hospital of Michigan Pediatric Dentistry Residency Program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and the United States Department of Education.  Our program prepares residents to become outstanding pediatric dentists capable of practicing independently in any clinical setting, including private practice or academic medicine, with an emphasis on special needs patients. 

 

The program's clinical training in pediatric dentistry consists of a hospital portion at Children's Hospital of Michigan and an outpatient portion located within a private pediatric dental office. Upon completion of the program, the resident receives a certificate in pediatric dentistry and meets eligibility requirements for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry examination.
