114.15.1 Specialty Enhancement for General Dentistry Education

    The Specialty Enhancement for General Dentistry Education is designed to enhance the diagnostic, treatment planning and clinical skills of general dentists in key specialty disciplines so that they can successfully deliver a broader range of oral healthcare services in rural areas where specialist services are not available.

    This general residency program is one calendar year in length, July 1 through June 30. Three DDS graduates are accepted each year, those accepted primarily being DDS graduates in the year in which they begin the residency.

    Under the direction of dental specialists and general practitioners, residents will provide care to patients who cannot be seen by undergraduate dental students because of the complexity and/or scope of the required Treatment. Through seminar sessions and clinical teaching, the areas of endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, dental implants, pediatric dentistry, hospital dentistry, conscious sedation, advanced oral diagnosis and treatment planning, oral medicine, orofacial pain and advanced general dentistry are taught. Residents will also be involved in the University of Alberta Hospital Dental Service, providing clinical treatment to patients during scheduled daytime clinics, evening and weekend emergency walk-in clinics, and on-call.

    An important additional component of this residency program is off site rotations to underserved areas of this province.

114.15.2 General Practice Residency

    The General Practice Residency is designed to enhance the diagnostic, treatment planning and clinical skills of general dentists in management of patients with complex systemic health issues, as well as key specialty disciplines so that they can successfully deliver a broader range of oral healthcare services.

    This general practice residency program is one calendar year in length, July 1 through June 30. Three recent DDS graduates are accepted each year, generally graduates of accredited Canadian dentistry programs.

    Under the direction of dental specialists and general practitioners, residents will provide care to patients who frequently are not seen in community dental practices for reasons of systemic disease or disability. Patients are treated at University of Alberta Hospital during scheduled day-time hours, during a walk-in emergency clinic evenings and week-ends, and occasionally on-call. Residents also provide patient care at the University of Alberta Department of Dentistry in the General Practice Residency Clinic. Through seminar sessions and clinical teaching, the areas of endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, dental implants, pediatric dentistry, hospital dentistry, conscious sedation, advanced oral diagnosis and treatment planning, oral medicine, orofacial pain and advanced general dentistry are taught.

    An important additional component of this residency program will include healthcare rotations by each resident to an underserved area of this province.
