(above), is Clinical Director of
the Implant Fellowship Program
and Daewon Haam, DDS
(below), is Clinical Director of
the International
Implant Program.
CDM's Section of Oral and Diagnostic Sciences has introduced
two new postgraduate programs in Advanced Implant Dentistry,
a two-year, part-time Fellowship Program for US dentists, and a
two-year full-time International Program for dental professionals
from abroad. The Fellowship Program, directed by Associate
Clinical Professor John Cavallaro, requires participants to be
educationally qualified specialists in endodontics, periodontics or
prosthodontics. The International Program is designed for dentists
who are graduates of accredited international dental institutions
and have demonstrated the highest level of knowledge and skill
related to the placement and restoration of dental implants.
A Certificate of Professional Achievement is issued on completion
of the programs.
Formed under the leadership of Dennis P. Tarnow, DDS, Director
of Implant Education at the College, each program is designed
to provide dentists with the highest level of knowledge and
skill related to the placement and restoration of dental implants.
The curriculum is based on the biologic and clinical principles
that are the basis of the discipline. Practitioners are trained
through basic and advanced didactic lectures, seminars, and
literature review sessions.
In September, Dr. Daewon Haam was appointed as assistant
professor in the Division of Prosthodontics and Director of the
International Program. Dr. Haam, who received his DDS from
Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea in 1994, earned an MS in Orthodontics
from the Catholic University Graduate School of Clinical
Dental Science, Seoul, in 2004. He completed a one-year fellowship
in periodontology and implantology at NYU in 2008, and
received his MS degree in prosthodontics from Columbia in 2011.
