UNIVERSITY OF IOWA ENDODONTIC GRADUATE PROGRAM
The advanced training program in Endodontics balances clinical experience with didactic instruction in the relevant clinical and basic sciences. Students can expect to spend about half their time in direct patient contact, with the remainder divided between formal course work, teaching, and research. Protocol-driven research is an integral component of the program, and all advanced students are required to design and conduct an original research project. Preparation of a manuscript suitable for publication is also a requirement. The advanced education programs offered by the Department of Endodontics are designed to provide qualified dentists with the scientific knowledge and clinical skills needed to competently practice endodontics and/or pursue a career in dental education and research. In conjunction with the College of Dentistry and Graduate College, the Department of Endodontics offers different types of post-doctoral programs. Each will have a similar clinical but different didactic experience. The Certificate Program requires a minimum of two calendar years (24 months) of full-time formal training. The certificate program is designed to produce a practicing endodontist. No traditional thesis is required; however, the student must develop a research protocol, complete the research project, and prepare a scientific manuscript suitable for publication in a refereed journal. The Certificate Program is recommended for individuals wishing to pursue careers in private practice. The Master of Science Degree Program combined with the Certificate in Endodontics is a three-year program (36 months) requiring a minimum of 30 graduate-level semester credit hours. In addition, students must conduct an original research project resulting in a formal thesis. The student will follow a study plan outlined by the Department of Endodontics and comply with Graduate College Regulations. Under most circumstances, the degree granted will be a Master of Science in Oral Sciences, although there are alternative M.S. Degrees in other disciplines. Following successful completion of requirements, both an M.S. Degree and a Certificate of Endodontics will be granted. The M.S. Degree is recommended for individuals wishing to pursue academic careers. Please see our website for additional information at https://www.dentistry.uiowa.edu/endodontics-grad-program
