The College of Dentistry has determined that a course in Emergencies and Pain Control and participation on the CODE BLUE team and the After Hours Emergency Care Program are parts of the academic program for all students located in programs housed in the College of Dentistry in Lincoln. The course will be scheduled during the first year as a required course for all new postgraduate students. A mock board oral examination will be given to all students during each Spring Semester. The examination procedure will be of a format similar to that of the American Board of Prosthodontics. The purpose of this examination is to help assess the achievement of the program's goals.
Students also take one mock board written examination yearly.
Each student is also urged to participate in the American Dental Association. Attendance at the annual meetings of the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics and the American College of Prosthodontists is encouraged, as well as attendance at local dental, periodontics and prosthodontics meetings and programs. GME-eligible postgraduate students are eligible for a flexible benefit package which includes choices among health, life, and disability insurance. Future income is contingent upon continued availability of federal funds and is subject to change at any time. No more than six credit hours may be taken in each of the fall and spring semesters, and three credit hours may be taken in the summer.
