The Unit runs three programmes, the MSc in Endodontics (1 yr FT or 2 yrs PT), the MClinDent in Endodontology (2 yr FT) and the SAC-approved, 3 yr FT Specialist training programme in Endodontics. In addition, the Unit includes a dedicated training programme in Endodontics for the SPRs in Restorative Dentistry. The CPD arm of teh operation also provides a Certificate in Endodontics, with the future prospect of developing progression through a Diploma to a Masters. The programmes are characteristically intensive and require organisation, dedication, focus and hard work from the graduate. There is an established culture of active learning with relatively little didactic instruction. The media of teaching and learning include seminars, tutorials, laboratory simulation exercises, clinical work and case conferences. Clinical progression is geared to be systematic and progressive, with the level of monitoring consistent with degree of progression and ability.
