Clinical Training
Hospital Dentistry
 Graduating dental students generally have minimal experience with the hospital environment and medically compromised patients. Much of the program is dedicated to these critical issues. Physical diagnosis, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and a lecture series that covers didactic topics of importance are provided. Residents quickly become familiar with clinic emergency protocol, management of dental emergencies, program philosophy, hospital practices and organizational structure.
Clinical Dentistry
Residents spend a least 60% of the residency delivering comprehensive dental care to the outpatient population. Residents deliver comprehensive care to those patients in their clinic practice. Patients are treatment planned in a conference forum to achieve the maximal educational benefit from each clinical experience. The outpatient clinic is in operation 5 days per week and is staffed by full and part time attendings.
