PDC

The Postgraduate Dental College (PDC) of the Uniformed Services University was established in May 2010 after receiving approval from the USU Board of Regents. The University grants a Master of Science in Oral Biology degree after the completion of an affiliated graduate dental residency program.  As of August of 2016, ten Advanced Education in General Dentistry, one-year certificate programs sponsored by the Air Force became affiliated with the PDC.  All students matriculated into the program have obtained a Doctor of Dental Surgery or a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.  Admission is open to active duty officers or Health Professions Scholarship Program recipients who have been selected for residency training in University affiliated programs by their respective Service. The college is comprised of educational sites at one of the three Service dental schools.
