While primary patient care properly
occupies the bulk of the Resident's educational experience for
the year, the weekly didactic curriculum includes literature
review, treatment planning, general dentistry, and prosthodontics
seminars.
The Combined Postdoctoral Program Implant
Treatment Planning Seminar is held biweekly, and draws upon
the combined resources of the Postdoctoral Programs in General
Dentistry, Periodontics, Orthodontics, and Oral/Maxillofacial
Surgery in order to formulate multidisciplinary treatment plans
for patients with complex restorative treatment needs.
A wide variety of seminar series in
fields such as Oral Medicine, General Dentistry, Prosthodontics,
Endodontics, Orthodontics, Geriatric Dentistry, Periodontics,
Practice Management, and Jurisprudence/ Practice Ethics/ Risk
Management increase the Resident's knowledge base for practice.
