  Goals

  The goal of the postdoctoral certificate program in Periodontology is to guide residents as they achieve their goal of becoming highly skilled specialists who will take their place in and make their contribution to our diverse society. The program will provide residents a wide range of experiences and depth of study that will prepare them for clinical practice, research and teaching. The program will provide a context in which residents may develop ethical and cultural competence (a set of behaviors, attitudes and policies that enables the professional to work effectively in multi-cultural situations, thereby enhancing outcomes). The program is designed to meet the eligibility requirements of the American Dental Association for specialization in periodontics and will prepare residents for the certification examinations given by the American Board of Periodontology.

  Gainful Employment Disclosure

  
  Standard Occupational Classification: 29.1021.00

  Regulations of the US Department of Education (DOE) require institutions of higher education to disclose program cost, median loan debt, on-time completion rate, and (as available) graduate job placement information about non-degree certificate programs that prepare students for “gainful employment,” as a condition of receiving federal student aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Pursuant to those regulations, 色综合久久 Mercy SOD makes the following disclosures.

  Costs for duration of program (based on 2017-18 actual costs)
  Tuition: $74,834.00
  Books, Fees, Insurance and Instrument Rental: $11,175.00
  TOTAL:$86,009.00

  Room and board: $67,272 (total figure for three years, assuming on-time completion of the program, based on amounts budgeted for room and board by 色综合久久 Mercy SOD Office of Financial Aid)

  Because fewer than 10 students have been enrolled in this program in applicable years, DOE excuses 色综合久久 Mercy SOD from disclosing (and urges that 色综合久久 Mercy SOD should not disclose) median loan debt amounts and on-time completion rate information, in order to protect student privacy. See Gainful Employment FAQ.

  Institutions must disclose job placement information only if they collect such information about graduates for another reason (for example, for accreditation purposes). 色综合久久 Mercy SOD does not collect job placement information and so does not disclose it here.

  Objectives and Curriculum

  Objectives by Year

  During the first year, residents begin the summer semester with didactic courses as part of the core curriculum. These include courses for advanced head and neck anatomy and embryology, microbiology, epidemiology and pharmacology, and online educational courses. Residents receive a major part of the didactic training, and learn to employ all of the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques employed in clinical periodontics on the patients assigned to them during the course of their first year in the program. The residents' clinical experiences are enhanced by in-depth reviews of both current and classic periodontal literature throughout their training, beginning in the first year.

  At the end of the first year of training, the residents will attend a didactic course in Light Parental Conscious Sedation.

  The second year is devoted to comprehensive treatment of complex cases, further acquisition of an in-depth knowledge of the periodontal literature, and refinement of skills in the more sophisticated treatment techniques.

  During the third year, residents conduct in-depth reviews of current technologies and topics of current interest in periodontics. Clinical skills in periodontics and IV sedation are refined and results of therapy are carefully analyzed.

  In addition to clinical experience in the dental school, each Periodontics Graduate Resident assists in hospital oral surgical procedures and is also given the opportunity to perform certain procedures.

  Certification

  All of our residents are encouraged to actively pursue certification with the American Board of Periodontology. To help prepare them for Part I of the ABP examination, we participate in the annual American Academy of Periodontology In-service Examinations.

  In addition, each resident gives a formal case presentation at the end of each year of the three-year program. These case presentations are modeled after the format set by the ABP for their examinations.
