Advanced Education General Dentistry Residency Program

Let me take this opportunity to inform you of a fully CODA accredited Advanced Education General Dentistry Residency Program (AEGD) started July 2015.  This one-year dental residency is sponsored by Alameda Health System which is composed of four hospitals and several medical and dental clinics throughout Alameda County, California.  Residents are primarily treating medically compromised patients in the outpatient clinic and special needs patients in the operating room at Highland Hospital.  There will be rotations in oral surgery, implant prosthetics, emergency general dentistry, special needs general dentistry and comprehensive general dentistry at a community clinic affiliated with the Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry.
