Introduction
The SUNYAB School of Dental Medicine's program for "Advanced Education in General Dentistry" (AEGD) was founded July, 1991. This program is designed to reflect as closely as possible a private general practice setting, while still functioning harmoniously in a dental school environment.
Program Goals and Objectives
An advanced educational program in general dentistry provides advanced training beyond the level of predoctoral education in clinical dentistry and applied basic and behavioral sciences, as well as refines those skills necessary for the generalist to provide comprehensive patient care for all population groups. It is a planned, sequential postdoctoral training program of one year in length, that is specifically designed to meet the needs of graduates desirous of enhancing their skills as general practitioners. The program is a supplement to the predoctoral curriculum, but is not a required component of that educational sequence. An optional second year is offered as well that expands on the knowledge and experience obtained in the first year of the Program.
Admission Procedure
Residents are selected from students who have completed a course of study in a CODA accreted dental school and who have graduated with a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree. Applicants must have a New York State License, or be eligible for a New York State Limited Permit to Practice Dentistry.
The AEGD program participates in both the National Matching Service (NMS)
and the Postdoctoral Application Support Service (PASS). Interested applicants
must contact and register with both agencies in order to be considered. No
independent applications are accepted.
Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of their past academic record, their demonstrated interest in pursuing general dentistry as a career and a personal interview. Applicant integrity, motivation, industry, resourcefulness, and background knowledge will be subjects of discussion during the interview.
