Vision Medical College in Jeddah has officially announced the accreditation of a new specialty training program in Endodontics by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) in July 2025. This achievement reflects the College’s ongoing efforts to advance healthcare education and meet the growing demand for qualified dental professionals across the Kingdom
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases related to the dental pulp and root tissues. The most well-known procedure in this field is the root canal treatment, which aims to save a tooth from extraction by carefully cleaning and sealing the infected root canals. This specialty plays a vital role in preserving natural teeth and preventing future oral health complications.
The newly accredited program will be delivered within the College’s on-campus clinics, offering hands-on training for licensed Saudi dentists seeking advanced specialization in endodontic care. Under the guidance of experienced academic and clinical faculty, trainees will gain the clinical skills and scientific knowledge necessary to manage complex dental conditions with high levels of precision and safety.
This accreditation came after a comprehensive review conducted by the SCFHS, which assessed the training infrastructure, faculty readiness, clinical capacity, and the overall quality of the training environment. It confirms that the College has met all national standards required to offer a recognized specialty program in the dental field.
With this milestone, Vision Medical College in Jeddah further strengthens its status as an accredited center for high-level postgraduate dental training, joining a select group of institutions approved to prepare the next generation of dental specialists. This step also supports the strategic goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by contributing to the localization of health professions and the advancement of quality education in the Kingdom.
More than just an academic achievement, this program will ultimately benefit the public by increasing access to highly skilled endodontists capable of addressing advanced oral health needs. It will also enhance the quality of care in clinics across Saudi Arabia by ensuring that patients receive expert treatment in a field that often determines whether a natural tooth can be preserved or lost. With this accreditation, Vision Medical College reaffirms its commitment to academic excellence, healthcare innovation, and the development of Saudi Arabia’s national health workforce.
