The Research Program

One of the requirements for the successful completion of the endodontic program in the Graduate Department of Endodontics at the University of Detroit Mercy is that you initiate, conduct, complete and present an original research project, including a written article for submission to a professional journal. The basis for the requirement stems from the conviction that a research experience can, perhaps better than any other learning experience, develop and/or refine habits of critical thinking and reading. It is difficult to imagine a more appropriate goal for education at any level.
