interesting clinical findings are shared with classmates

Newark Beth Israel Medical
Center's General Practice Residency in Dentistry is an educational
program designed to provide clinical, didactic and hospital
experience at the postdoctoral level. The goals of this
program are to develop a hospital competent general dentist
who can
• Diagnose oral and maxillofacial diseases and provide
dental care in the context of each patient's total health
care needs
• Communicate and function effectively
with other health care professionals in a variety of health
care settings and understand the role of these professionals
and the organization and function of these settings
• Plan and provide both routine
and complex dental care for a variety of patients by applying
advanced knowledge and clinical skills
• Pursue individual areas of interest
and achieve career goals
The above are accomplished by specific
objectives for each clinical and didactic component of the
program, primarily within the context of patient care.
 Clinical
dental microscopy, originally introduced into our program
for endodontics, is available for all clinical procedures.
There are planned teaching sessions directed
by the members of the attending staff in a structured curriculum.
A CD Rom, which is sent to every applicant, provides a list
of lectures and clinic specialty sessions.
The department has various additional
programs operating side by side with the residency program.
These programs include dental research, continuing education
and patient care provided by attending dentists. There are
no specialty training programs at the Beth, so our GPR’s
do ALL of the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and ALL of
the Operating Room General Dentistry.
Digital
dental xray sensors are present in every dental operatory.
Digital panoramic xray likewise, can be viewed in every
operatory.
Dental
Attendings, Residents and Auxiliaries often convene in our
conference room during clinic sessions to discuss treatment
goals.
As Directors of Dentistry
and GPR Program Director, we wish to state on behalf of
all of the members of the department that residency training
is our prime mission.
