The Advanced Graduate Program in Prosthodontics is a three-year program leading to an MMSc degree in oral biology and a certificate in prosthodontics. An optional DMSc degree, which requires a minimum of four years of study, is an option for those individuals whose primary aim is to pursue a career in academics or research.
The purpose of the program is to develop highly competent prosthodontists with an extensive background in the biological sciences, clinical sciences, research methodology, and teaching for careers in clinical practice, research and academics. HSDM graduates are expected to become leaders in the field of prosthodontics. The program is also designed to satisfy the guidelines for certification by the American Board of Prosthodontics.
