The General Practice Residency Program is designed to extend the graduate's capability in performing all phases of general dentistry in either private practice or hospital-based settings. Patients of all ages are treated with special emphasis placed on the medically compromised.
Residents participate in rotations in general dentistry, oral surgery, anesthesia, and medicine.
Didactic and clinical experiences are available in the various dental specialties as well as in intravenous sedation and comprehensive pain control. The clinical aspect of the program includes the treatment of about 10,000 patients per year. There are opportunities for both clinical and non-clinical research. Applicants must be graduates of an ADA-accredited dental school. Selection criteria include academic performance in dental school education, National Board scores, motivation and goals, letters of reference and required interviews.
