Mission Statement

The mission of the Dental Residency Program is to prepare residents for the practice of general dentistry through education and exposure to the broadest range of clinical and didactic experiences. The program emphasizes an evidence-based approach to dental treatment through critical review of the dental literature and treatment of underserved populations with limited access to dental care. In order to have a fulfilling educational experience, residents must be self-motivated and take the initiative to aggressively pursue all opportunities to learn.
