Remediation
The UB School of Dental Medicine offers professional remediation to
dentists and dental hygienists to address North East Regional Board testing
requirements, State Board of Education requirements, or Office of the Profession
rulings. These courses are individualized for you to address specific
needs or directives. Courses are developed to proved certification of completion
of an agreed course of study. Upon needs assesment, faculty are identified
to direct the course. Tuition is determined by the number of contact
hours required and the nature of the remediation. The dentist or hygienist
is then put in direct contact with the faculty to make arrangements
that are mutually convenient. The goal is to provide a positive learning experience
for the dental professional. All inquiries and courses are handled in strict
confidence.
