Tufts Dental Continuing Education Office is proud to announce our upcoming Mini-Residency Programs:

Preceptorships

This 40-day (8-week) program is designed for dentists interested in furthering their knowledge of dentistry in a specific field of interest. The objective of the program is to expose participants to clinical care, cutting-edge research, and best practices.  

This will be achieved through participation in post-doctoral didactic courses and observation of the dental care provided in Tufts University School of Dental Medicine specialty clinics. The knowledge learned during the Preceptorship will provide the information and skills needed for the participants to further their education and continue their lifelong journey of learning.

Requirements for Application:  

  • This program is open to dentists with domestic or international dental degrees.
  • Applications are approved on a rolling basis throughout the year.  
  • The 40 days (8 weeks) can be taken at once or broken up over a 12-month period of time.

To apply for this program please fill out the Preceptorship Application and submit it to the Office of Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning.

Controlled Risk Mitigation Education Modules

The following free, self-study sessions focus on Controlled Substance Risk Mitigation in the dental practice. Each session is eligible for .75 CE hours and are part of a research study conducted by Principal Investigator Dr. Ronald Kulich. The aim of this study is to deliver the first controlled substance risk mitigation training modules to Massachusetts practicing dentists, dental hygienists, and oral surgeons. Outcomes will address knowledge, attitudes, as well as self-report of behavior change within clinical practice. This information will help us encourage dental clinicians and dental hygienists to apply comprehensive and consistent risk-mitigation steps into routine practice.
