Program Contact
Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Maryland is comprised of two programs - the one-year course and the two-year AEGD certificate/Master's/Ph.D. degree option. The one-year Advanced General Dentistry Program is designed to improve and refine residents' scientific knowledge and clinical skills in the practice of general dentistry. It prepares the resident to assess the patient's general health status relative to anticipated dental treatment and to plan and deliver that treatment. Where specialist care is required, the generalist learns to serve as the principal coordinator. Didactic and clinical training and experience in patient, personnel and practice management is emphasized. The clinical experience includes a broad range of clinical cases and is designed to match each resident's specific needs and interests. In addition, the clinical facility is organized as a simulated private group practice, facilitating residents' opportunities to acquire skills necessary for managing a group practice.
