The appointments are tenable at one of three UBC teaching hospitals, i.e., BC Cancer Agency, BC Children's Hospital, and Vancouver General Hospital. The GPR program provides advanced postgraduate training in several dental specialties. It includes clinic and operating room dentistry, and weekly continuing-education seminars. The residencies are salaried positions with union benefits, including one month's vacation. They are therefore especially valuable to recent graduates, and non-established dentists seeking additional training in general dentistry within a hospital setting.
Selection is by application and personal interview.
Eligible candidates must be graduates from accredited Canadian or US dental schools. Foreign graduates are eligible to apply providing they have passed the NDEB examinations. The Director of Postgraduate and Hospital Programs is Dr. Christopher Zed .
