The primary goal of the General Dentistry Postgraduate Program at Erie County Medical Center is to prepare our graduates for a career in general practice dentistry. This Advanced Education Program in General Dentistry is a 12- month hospital based GPR program that is designed to offer a balanced clinical and didactic curriculum in all aspects of dentistry in a hospital based setting. This program will provide and the residents a full range of clinical experiences under the direct supervision of the attending dentists supplemented by didactic training in all dental specialties.
Our mission is to provide each resident with clinical and didactic experiences in all facets of general dentistry including treating patients in a hospital setting. This includes patients with behavioral management needs, emergency medicine, operating room dentistry, treatment of developmentally and medically compromised patients, trauma management, maxillofacial prosthetics, and exposure to patients with head and neck cancers. The clinical experiences are supported by a structured didactic seminar that encourages critical thinking appropriate to post graduate level education in general dentistry.
The overall curriculum is designed to prepare our graduates to enter into a contemporary practice setting of general dentistry with greater knowledge, skill set, confidence and efficiency above and beyond the training they received in their respective undergraduate dental training programs. Graduates will become more proficient in all aspects of dentistry and equipped to manage medically compromised patients, efficiently assess urgent needs, think critically and perform appropriate treatment.
This GPR program has been planned in accordance with the guidelines for postdoctoral education of the American Dental Association Council on Dental Accreditation. Upon completion of the program, the residents receive a certificate in general dentistry.
