International Endodontic Program
About This Event
The International Endodontic Program is a two-year, fully online CE program enabling dentists from outside of the United States to acquire additional training in endodontics via virtual learning. The goal of this program is to provide dentists from regions where endodontics is not recognized as a specialty with the opportunity to gain knowledge and proficiency in the field. The program is designed to enhance their endodontic training as a supplement to advanced dental education. The program is composed of 3 parts: Clinical Endodontics, Classic Endodontic Literature, and Current Endodontic Literature. The online curriculum is available in English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Japanese. Participants must have a BDS or DDS degree, complete all clinical requirements, pass oral and written examinations, and attend at least one of the Microsurgical Endodontics CE courses offered by Dr. Azim in Europe or the United States.
