The General Practice Residency (GPR) Program is a postdoctoral educational program designed to provide essential skills, attitudes, and abilities related to the contemporary practice of advanced general dentistry, with emphasis on total patient care. The program provides the recent graduate the opportunity to augment his/her/they knowledge of oral disease and his/her/they diagnostic and therapeutic skills in dentistry. Treatment of oral disease in the medically complex patient and/or hospitalized patient is emphasized. A private practice environment is maintained throughout the program to assist the recent dental school graduate in the successful transition from academics to "real world dentistry".
Residents will be admitted to the GPR program through the standard process via participation in the PASS application program which is mandatory. In order to meet the September 15th application deadline, completed PASS documents should be submitted to the PASS office no later than September 10th of the year preceding the year for which the applicant is applying.
New resident dentists are required to participate in all orientation activities prior to July 1st. Financial compensation will be provided for this time. The orientation schedule will be sent to the resident dentist by the program director or their designee.
