Graduate Program in Orthodontics
The mission of the Graduate Program in Orthodontics is to prepare residents for community-based or academic practice who demonstrate excellence in their practice and leadership in their profession and community.
The curriculum also includes an extensive practice management seminar series which features a practicum to visit private orthodontic offices in California. Learn more about our practice management curriculum in this video!
All senior residents present their research at the school’s Research Day and are encouraged to submit an abstract to the professional societies (e.g., AADR, ADEA, AAO). Students must complete the requirements for the master’s degree prior to being awarded the specialty certificate.
The UNC Adams School of Dentistry Graduate Program in Orthodontics is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.
