Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at Harvard University

 Sciences (M.M.Sc.)

Harvard School of Dental Medicine

The goal of the Advanced Graduate Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (OMP) Program at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) is to train a specialist who is able to: provide the highest level of microscopy diagnostic skills and new technologies in immunohistochemistry and molecular studies; diagnose and manage patients with salivary gland and mucosal diseases, diseases of the jaw bones, and head and neck pain syndromes where the primary treatment modality is nonsurgical; perform and/or collaborate in scientific or clinical research projects; and excel as an medical educator and leader in the specialty. Students in this program work toward a certificate in OMP as well as a Master in Medical Sciences (MMSc) or a Doctor of Medical Sciences (DMSc) degree in Oral Biology. In this program, students develop their microscopic, clinical and critical thinking skills in a resource-rich, supportive, collegial and collaborative environment.
