Function/Duties of Position
Program Overview: Endodontic Internship ("Redshirt" Program)
The Endodontic Internship is a funded, 12-month, full-time program designed for licensed dentists who have a demonstrated interest in endodontics and intend to apply to an accredited Advanced Education Program in Endodontics. The program provides structured immersion in endodontic education at an academic health science center-offering clinical, didactic, and scholarly experiences that closely parallel those of postdoctoral residency training.
This program is distinct from the OHSU Advanced Education Program in Endodontics. Participation does not confer, imply, or guarantee acceptance into the AEPE. Candidates interested in the Advanced Education Program must apply independently through ADEA PASS. The Endodontic Internship is intended to strengthen the candidate's preparation for the next admission cycle.
