Two Year Program Goals and Objectives

The two-year AEGD program incorporates all the goals and objectives of the one-year program and is designed to expand the educational opportunities offered by:

1. Gaining experience in managing highly complex comprehensive dental care; improving clinic management skills; 
2. Pursuing areas of individual concentration, e.g.: temporomandibular disorders & facial pain, anesthetics & sedation, oral pathology, CAD-CAM, etc.; 
3. *Providing residents with an interdisciplinary graduate foundation in the biological and clinical sciences for careers in dental research and/or education and the practice of dentistry;
4. *Gaining teaching experience, performing original research and earning an optional Master of Science degree if indicated. 

* This is only the Master’s tract. Not all Year II residents are enrolled in Master’s coursework or doing research. 
Note: In order to achieve the above, a personal camera and computer are strongly recommended for each resident. The program has an intraoral camera to aid in case documentation.
