Thank you for your interest in Temple University
Dental School's Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD)
Program! This twelve-month-long postdoctoral program is nationally
recognized for the excellence of its clinical and didactic curricular
components. Although our AEGD Program is not hospital-based, we
refer to our students as Residents. We are part of the Temple
University Health Science Center, and our practice base includes
many outpatients with complex medical histories who are referred
to our Residents for the dental care they require before undergoing
cardiac or renal transplant surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation
therapy for cancer. The AEGD Faculty members are dedicated to
providing a learning environment that encourages each Resident
to maximize his or her clinical potential, in order to undergo
the metamorphosis from a fourth year dental student to a professional
practice colleague. At the end of the Program Year, your Faculty
and I want nothing more than to see you "hit the ground running"
as you enter professional practice! In fact, many practices contact
us to recruit our Residents for employment.
