Goldman School of Dental Medicine
The goal of the Goldman School of Dental Medicine is to provide dental professionals with ongoing training throughout their dental careers. Through education and research our students shape the future of dental medicine. We offer a host of predoctoral and postdoctoral degrees and certificate programs from the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) to 11 postgraduate degrees. Students choose from a wide range of specialties including general and pediatric dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and pathology, and implantology. Students may also combine research programs with clinical training to earn a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) along with their MS in Dentistry.
