Postdoctoral Non-Degree Programs

At The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, we offer programs and courses for dentists who are interested in furthering their knowledge in specialized areas without pursuing the MS degree or a certificate program. These include the General Practice Residency and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Internship as well as the college’s Continuing Dental Education program – all located in the nation’s most comprehensive health sciences center.  

We also offer less formal internships, fellowships, preceptorships and observerships in other dental specialties. Please feel free to contact individual academic divisions for more information.
