This course is designed to prepare residents for all phases of the examination process in the pursuit of board certification by the American Board of Endodontics. CDM 5675—Endodontic Surgery This course will provide residents with the knowledge of relevant biomedical sciences, clinical techniques, and new instruments and devices as they correlate to the theory and practice of surgical endodontics in accompaniment with their surgical experiences. CDM 5681—Endodontic Rotation This rotation serves to educate residents with the knowledge and skills to diagnose, understand the basis of, and adequately interpret and treat—alone or in conjunction with other dental practitioners—endodontic situations and their related diseases and to maintain the health of the attachment apparatus and integrity of the natural dentition. CDM 5685—Endodontic Surgical Externship This externship serves to educate residents with the knowledge and skills to diagnose, understand the basis of, and adequately interpret and treat endodontic surgical situations to maintain the health of the attachment apparatus and integrity of the natural dentition. It will provide residents with surgical endodontics experience from a sufficient number of diagnostic and surgical clinical cases to result in proficiency in the practice of endodontics and prepare residents to effectively treat medically compromised and special needs patients. It will also afford students with the opportunity to work with and evaluate new instruments and techniques. CDM 5695—Teaching Enhancement/Methodology and Quality Assurance These courses educate the graduating endodontist with knowledge and skills to diagnose, understand the basis of, and adequately interpret and treat—alone or in conjunction with other dental and medical practitioners—endodontic situations and their related diseases and to maintain the health of the attachment apparatus and integrity of the natural dentition. They provide the resident with in-depth knowledge of relevant biomedical sciences as they correlate to the theory and practice of endodontics and introduce in-depth, advanced education in teaching methodology for the postgraduate resident. Various teaching methodology is utilized, including lectures and hands-on presentations, allowing them to demonstrate competency. Residents will be asked to evaluate endodontic outcomes (survival, success, failure, no change) through radiographs (CBCTs, periapicals-FMXs, and panorexs) on the NSU College of Dental Medicine’s pool of ongoing patients. POSTDOCTORAL ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY The program in oral and maxillofacial surgery is a four-year certificate program.

At the completion of the program, an option to pursue a medical degree (M.D.) is available for eligible candidates. The program has been designed to give residents a broad academic and didactic experience in the complete spectrum of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Graduates of the program will be prepared to pursue a contemporary, full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery practice and be prepared for licensure and the rigors of specialty board examination. Four-Year Residency Curriculum The first-year residency training is divided between oral and maxillofacial surgery, internal medicine, and anesthesia rotations. Four months are spent on the anesthesia service at Broward Health Medical Center, one month on pediatric anesthesia at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, two months on the internal medicine service, and five months on the oral and maxillofacial surgery service. Six months of the second year are spent on the oral and maxillofacial surgery service encompassing the outpatient clinics and respective Broward Health and Memorial Hospital services. Residents will have increased responsibilities this year, including overseeing the first-year residents, IV sedation cases, and operating room responsibilities. The other six months are spent on trauma/general surgery and are divided equally between Broward General and Memorial Level I trauma centers. The third year of the program consists of expanded clinical training in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Broward Health Medical Center. The resident will function on a junior level, with experiences and expectations consistent with this level of training. This year of training includes one month of implant reconstruction and 11 months of oral and maxillofacial surgery service.
