Overview

The Clinical Research degree at Case Western Reserve University is one of a handful of training programs funded by the NIH and we are very proud of this honor.

Features

Our dual-degree training prepares the dentist of the future in utilizing evidence-based methods in the practice of dentistry and for a career in academics and/or the private/public sector.

I encourage all students to consider this dual-degree training to enhance your future career.

Programme Structure

Curriculum

The dual degree curriculum is for five years. The DMD curriculum requires 141.5 credit hours that include didactic, laboratory, and clinical work. The overall DMD curriculum will not change as part of this joint program.

Some components of the dental curriculum are equivalent to clinical research material that is taught in graduate MS programs. Thus a total of 6 credits of the DMD curriculum (Epidemiology for Dentistry, Cariology, and Outreach Preventive Dentistry) will be used as graded credits towards the Master’s portion of the combined DMD/MS program.
