The UNMC College of Dentistry has offered a fully accredited advanced education program in pediatric dentistry since 1947. The program leads to a Certificate of Specialization in Pediatric Dentistry, which satisfies the requirements mandated by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry for Examination and Board Certification.
The residency program is designed to prepare competent pediatric dentists that are able to provide comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs.
During their course of training, graduates become prepared to participate in teaching, research, private-practice, and public heath settings.
Rotations include: Cleft palate/craniofacial anomalies, pediatric medicine, emergency on-call, anesthesiology, oral surgery & interdisciplinary pediatrics (child psychiatry & other developmental disciplines through Munroe-Meyer Institute), operating room services.
Clinical training is conducted at the Pediatric Dental Clinic located at Children's Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha. Residents gain extensive experience working in collaboration with other pediatric medicine specialties.
