Program Contact
Lehigh Valley Health Network offers a one-year CODA accredited general practice residency program at two sites - one in Allentown and one in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The program is designed to reinforce and expand on the principles learned in a four-year pre-doctoral dental program while the resident delivers advanced comprehensive dental care in the hospital environment. You can apply to the program via PASS. However, each site participates separately in the Match and therefore you have the ability to rank each site according to your preference. While all our residents share the didactic portion of our program, all clinical experiences will be at the site you match with.
