Abstract

The Commission on Dental Accreditation is responsible for accrediting postgraduate dental education programs, including residencies and fellowships using a well-delineated process that includes an annual survey of various aspects of the program related to the Standards for Advanced Dental Education Programs in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and a program self-study and site visit with a review by the Specialty Education Review Committee of the Commission and the Commission on a 5-year cycle. The primary goal of the accreditation process is to assure the public, the profession, and the institution that the program is in compliance with the published standards.
