President's Report on Actions of the Senates Reorganization of the Subspecialties in Prosthodontics and Fixed Partial Prosthodontics into a Combined Speciality Program in Advanced Prosthodontics; and Elimination of the Advanced Certificate in Fixed Partial Prosthodontics, College o f Dentistry, Chicago (13) The Chicago Senate has approved a proposal by the College of Dentistry to reorganize and combine its subspecialities in prosthodontics and fixed partial prosthodontics into one speciality program in advanced prosthodontics. This change is proposed in response to new accreditation guidelines mandated by the American Dental Association that authorizes college of dentistry to offer only one accredited program in the speciality of prosthodontics. A modified program was established and approved by the faculty and review bodies of the College of Dentistry and by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Dental Association. As a result of this programmatic reorganization, the College of Dentistry proposes also to eliminate its Advanced Certificate in Fixed Partial Prosthodontics.
