The Detroit Mercy Dental AEGD program is a 12-month (optional 24-month) program in affiliation with Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital GME. Residents receive a salary and benefits. There is no tuition for the program.
Residents practice comprehensive care general dentistry in the Detroit Mercy Dental AEGD clinic and participate in rotations (OMFS, Family Medicine, Periodontics, emergency, and clinical teaching) and off site outreach and mobile clinic experiences. These experiences provide rich clinical experiences in urban settings to include treatment of patients with medical and dental complexities, patients with special needs, and all aspects of implant dentistry. Seminars, lectures and case presentations are in conjunction with residents in OMFS, endo, perio and ortho specialty programs.
AEGD residents have the opportunity to receive a Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals through the University of Detroit Mercy College of Business Administration.
