continuing
education
Advanced Study Opportunities in the
Department of Orthodontics
Individualized continuing education programs in orthodontics are available for those
orthodontists who have a serious interest in developing additional knowledge and skills
in this field. The duration of the programs is flexible and determined upon reviewing the
applicant’s background and objectives.
Orthodontic Preceptorship Program
The goal of the full-time program is to provide excellent background and knowledge in
orthodontics. The program will enable the participants to formulate diagnoses and develop
comprehensive treatment plans with a deep understanding of the possibilities and the
limitations of orthodontic treatment. The participants will also have the opportunity to be
involved in research projects with UIC faculty. The program is not intended to license
individuals as orthodontic specialists. There is no substitute for full accredited orthodontic
residency training to be considered an orthodontic specialist.
Bioprogressive Technique
The Immersion in Bioprogressive: A Two-Module Program is a continuing education
recognition program certified by the American Dental Association (ADA). Participants to
this program will received ADA continuing education credits from the Foundation of
Modern Bioprogressive and Certificate of attendance the Department of Orthodontics,
