Year 1 Overview

First-year residents spend eight months providing comprehensive dental patient care at 黑料论坛 School of Dentistry (MUSoD) clinics and spend an additional four months in a hospital setting completing clinical rotations. All residents will spend one day per week in didactic sessions (GPR seminars).

The majority of the GPR patients are referred to the program from MUSoD鈥檚 patient screening clinic. Additionally, patients will be referred to the GPR program from outside sources, including FQHCs and hospital consultations. Several of these patients will require multidisciplinary treatment plans. Residents conduct the comprehensive dental examination (including medical history) and develop the final treatment plan with guidance from faculty.  

Residents rotate through several hospital departments. They will spend a minimum of one month on anesthesia rotation, one month in the emergency department and one month on internal medicine rotation. Additionally, each resident will spend time on different dental services within MUSoD, including oral surgery, pediatrics and special needs dental care, which will include providing and/or assisting with dentistry in the operating room.

Year 1 Rotation Schedule

First-year didactic seminars are scheduled on Thursdays.

Year 2 Overview

Second-year residents spend eight months providing comprehensive dental patient care at MUSoD clinics (Urgent Care, Special Care Clinic and Pediatrics), two months in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at MUSoD, and an additional two rotations in a hospital setting, completing clinical rotations beyond the scope of those rotations completed as part of the Year 1 curriculum. All second-year residents additionally enroll in three one-credit courses each semester that they elect based on personal areas of interest.  

In the second year, each resident will again rotate through different MUSoD specialty clinics  including oral surgery, pediatrics and special needs dental care, which will include providing and/or assisting with dentistry in the operating room. Additionally, second year residents choose hospital rotation beyond those offered to first year residents, depending on areas of clinical interest.
