The Harvard School of Dental Medicine's Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program offers educational experiences for oral health care professionals and colleagues in other health professions. Led by expert clinicians, scientists and educators, our interdisciplinary portfolio of courses includes topics in clinical dentistry and oral health education, basic and translational science, global and community health, and policy and leadership. Our CPE promotes diversity and inclusion through its faculty and a curriculum that addresses worldwide oral and systemic healthcare issues.

Our Goals

To deliver evidence-based clinically relevant educational experiences for oral health professionals focusing on global health care needs, and to foster inquiry and excellence in education, research and patient care.

To enhance learner competence and to advance performance leading to improved oral and systemic health.

To provide scholarly conversations that translate to improved health and to expand scientific and clinical knowledge. 

To foster a culture of mutual respect and inclusion through the promotion of diverse perspectives, experiences and beliefs. 

Our Commitment

Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) is committed to providing scientifically and clinically relevant continuing education courses for dental professionals seeking to review, enhance and expand their scientific and clinical knowledge.  We offer high-quality custom and open-enrollment continuing education programs regionally, nationally, and internationally throughout the year. In 2023, 1,100+ participants from throughout the world participated in HSDM’s 100+ continuing education programs to expand their competency and knowledge in dentistry. HSDM also hosts international continuing education courses in Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul and Venice to provide invaluable insights on topics that are of significant importance to those regions.

We strive to provide lifelong learning experiences for all dental professionals by providing courses with relevant and timely topics taught by HSDM faculty from various academic departments and specialties.
