Pre-CCST Specialty
Pre CCST Training
Specialist training in Paediatric Dentistry is open to Dental Practitioners who are registered with the General Dental Council, have completed vocational training, and have acquired sufficient experience, both practical and academic, to gain appointment to an Specialty Registrar post by competitive interview.
Specialist training in Paediatric Dentistry is of three years duration (or equivalent), towards the end of which trainees will take the Membership in Paediatric Dentistry examination. The curriculum for specialist training is shown here. It is divided broadly into two parts – general and speciality specific components. All activity that is recorded should be mapped against the learning objectives shown in this curriculum and acts as evidence of suitable progression and – ultimately – of completion of training. The content of the Membership in Paediatric dentistry examination is mapped against the learning outcomes of the curriculum.
