What Sets Us Apart

CDP is intentionally structured as a cohort experience. Participants progress through the full curriculum together, creating continuity, accountability, and a shared learning environment. This structure supports deeper clinical integration, sustained momentum, and measurable professional growth.

The full program is completed over 25 months, allowing participants to earn substantial participation credit while maintaining a predictable monthly schedule. The focus is on steady progress without unnecessary delays or fragmented timelines.

All sessions are held at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, providing access to academic resources, modern facilities, and instruction grounded in evidence-based dentistry. Each session blends lecture, discussion, literature review, case-based learning, and hands-on simulation lab training. The emphasis is on practical application that translates directly to everyday practice.

The program aligns with AGD Fellowship and Mastership requirements. The primary focus remains comprehensive clinical education and long-term professional development.
