Program Contact
All aspects of Pediatric Dentistry are included in the program, but there is an emphasis on hospital dentistry with extensive exposure to medically compromised pediatric patients. UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is also a level one trauma center, which allows the resident to participate in the management of complicated, as well as routine, oral cavity trauma management.
Scheduled teaching conferences include Hospital Grand Rounds, OR dental rounds, literature review, core topic seminars, and numerous conferences offered by the Department of Pediatrics and other subspecialty hospital services.
Residents gain experience by scheduled rotations in anesthesia, emergency medicine, pediatrics, cleft and craniofacial, orthodontics and other subspecialty divisions. A scholarly project of the resident's choosing, under faculty supervision, is completed during the two years. Limited predoctorate dental teaching experience is achieved during the 2nd year. Outreach opportunities including Hemophilia Center outreach, women's shelter evaluations and yearly volunteer events are available for residents to participate in.
