Days Per Week Up to 2 days per week
The Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A.

Dugoni School of Dentistry, invites applicants to apply for a part-time, teacher-clinician; 5 to 2 days per week, 40 weeks per year.

The department is responsible for teaching pediatric dentistry at the pre-doctoral level.

Teaching is done in a humanistic manner, such that students are enthusiastic about providing oral healthcare to children and inspired by the professionalism, expertise, and demeanor of the departmental faculty and staff.

Additionally, the school's dental auxiliary utilization ( DAU ) program is part of the department, and is taught concurrently with pediatric dentistry both pre-clinically and in the pediatric clinic.

In addition to the formal curriculum, the department is active in community outreach activities, and independently as well as in conjunction with the student-organized outreach group ( SCOPE ), organizes, coordinates and provides outreach activities to the children of the community.

Because Pediatric Dentistry is a small department, with extensive commitments within the school, workload varies quarter to quarter.

For part-time faculty in the teacher-clinician track, emphasis is placed on teaching activities, but participation in scholarship and service is encouraged.
