Learners may apply the skills obtained through completing this Specialization in different ways depending on the role and the industry of the learner. For undergraduate students contemplating a career in dentistry, this group of learners should be able to make more informed career choices at the completion of this course. For those who are non-dental health care professionals, the learners will have a better understanding of the relationship between systemic and oral health. Lastly, for professionals employed by non-healthcare industries that are affiliated with dental practice, such as insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, it is our hope that these learners will have a better understanding of dental therapy and the scope of dental care.
