The Orofacial Pain Shadowing Program

The University of Kentucky Orofacial Pain Center offers a Shadowing Program to interested health professionals who wish to join the faculty and residents for a one-week experience in the Orofacial Pain Center. Each participant takes part in all the Center’s daily activities for the entire week. These activities include three literature review sessions, several topic seminars, multiple case reports and patient conferences. Participants can also observe the evaluation and treatment of chronic orofacial pain patients in daily clinic sessions. A schedule of weekly events are provided below:

Each participant has access to twenty eight DVD lectures on various TMD and orofacial pain subjects. Each DVD lecture is approximately one hour in length and the participant can review these at various times throughout the week. The participant may be invited to audit lectures for the 4th year dental students, graduate students and other seminars and activities that may be offered during that week

This program offers 40 hours of CE credit. The tuition for this week program is $995.00.

If you are interested in attending the Shadowing Program please contact the Center to arrange a suitable week. The Center does not usually accept participants in the months of July and August while our new full time residents are getting comfortable with clinical protocol. The Center encourages only one participant each week because this often enhances the learning experience. If however, several interested participants wish to enroll in the program together, the Center will try to accommodate the request. To receive additional information about the Shadowing Program or to sign up for the program contact Ms. Barbara Dickson at bldick3@uky.edu
