Welcome to the General Practice Dentistry Program at Newark Beth
Israel Medical Center.
One Dental Resident’s interesting
clinical findings are shared with classmates using an intra-oral
camera. |
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.
There are planned teaching sessions directed by the members
of the attending staff in a structured curriculum. There
are over 200 hours of scheduled lectures in the didactic
curriculum.
Specialty clinic sessions in orthodontics, pediatric dentistry,
periodontics, prosthodontics and oral & maxillofacial
surgery are scheduled each week. 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 treatment
procedures. |
Clinical dental microscopy, originally introduced
into our program for endodontics, is available for all
clinical procedures.
|
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.
