UNMC College of Dentistry AEGD Residency Program
The purpose of the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry is to train recent dental school graduates to deliver comprehensive dental care to a wide range of patients with varying needs, in different clinical environments at an advanced level of skill and/or complexity beyond that accomplished in their pre-doctoral education. The resident’s basic knowledge and skills will be reinforced and expanded in the areas of pathology, diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical and preventive dentistry, dental emergencies and pain and anxiety control utilizing behavioral and/or pharmacological techniques. In addition, the resident will be exposed to advanced training in the areas of Endodontics, Prosthodontics, Oral Surgery, Periodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Implantology, TMD and Restorative Dentistry. Furthermore, the program strives to instill in the resident, practice management and production skills that will translate into their private practices upon completion of the residency program. Finally, it will reinforce the necessity of lifelong learning and strengthen critical thinking to apply evidenced-based patient care.
The program in advanced education in general dentistry program (12 Months) is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
