Historically, UCSF School of Dentistry has offered preceptorship and fellowship programs for domestic and international dental school graduates and practitioners through its Continuing Dental Education Department. The programs provided additional educational experiences to dentists in a specific area of subspecialty interest, listed below, and culminated in scholars receiving a certificate of participation.

The school is currently working to reimagine and strengthen its preceptorship and fellowship programs and is not currently accepting new applications. Please check back in 2026 for updates on our new offerings.
