Program Contact
The Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program is a fully accredited one year program that offers an optional second year. The program is designed to refine and enhance the resident’s clinical skills and scientific knowledge while bridging the gap between dental school and general dental practice. The program provides the resident with broad clinical experience in all phases of general dentistry in addition to implant dentistry. The faculty and staff at SIU are dedicated to help every resident reach his/her maximum potential.
Do you enjoy variety? Our residency program offers several distinct rotations, each with diverse patient populations and each supported by an exceptional team of faculty and staff members. We believe our program offers a unique opportunity for experience and education. Our AEGD program is a one-year program with an optional second year. Both options provide the opportunity for residents to increase their knowledge through direct patient care, lectures, seminars and workshops. In the second year, residents have greater flexibility to custom design a program permitting emphasis in his/her area of interest, including research. Approximately 85% of your time will be devoted to advanced clinical care. The remaining 15% is didactic coursework.
