Second-fourth years are comprised of the regular Creighton curriculum with the availability of elective clinical experiences in Idaho. Idaho Advanced General Dentistry Program is an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency. The goal of the program includes increasing the knowledge and clinical skills of the general dentist beyond that achieved in the pre-doctoral education. Through an integrated multidisciplinary learning environment, residents are able to increase their competence in the application of modern standards of care and practice management. This one-year residency focuses on providing comprehensive care in a variety of clinical settings, emphasizing rural, underserved, and at risk populations.
Residents also receive training with patients who have emergency or episodic needs.
A certificate is awarded upon the successful completion of the program. The IAGD residency program is housed in the Family Medicine Building, located on the ISU campus. The faculty consists of generalists and specialists who are scheduled to provide consultation and clinical on-site instruction. Residents are responsible for learning to function effectively as primary dental care providers. This role includes personally providing patient-focused care, utilizing routine and advanced treatment modalities, as well as directing interdisciplinary treatment among various specialties.
