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;
2. improving clinic management skills;
3. pursuing areas of individual concentration, e.g.: temporomandibular disorders, public health dentistry, special patient care, etc;
4. *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;
5. *gaining teaching experience, performing original research and earning an optional Masters of Science degree if indicated.

* This is only the Masters tract. Not all Year II residents are enrolled in Masters coursework or do research.

Note: In order to achieve the above, a personal camera and computer are strongly recommended for each resident. The program has an intraoral video camera to aid in case documentation.
