The program in pediatric dentistry is a 24-month program beginning in July. It is designed to prepare the student for a dental practice limited to children.
Academic training includes interdisciplinary seminars and coursework in the basic sciences.
Clinical training in pediatric dentistry is primarily conducted at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Previous experience and an orientation to working with children is considered desirable. Those qualified for admission will be invited to come for a personal interview with the program director and faculty. Two students are accepted each year into this program. The deadline for receipt of application at the school is Oct. 15 of the year prior to planned enrollment.
