The Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency Program at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System is a one-year residency which accepts two residents per year. Our primary goal is to provide the recent graduate with continued opportunity for professional growth and advancement. This comprehensive program prepares the resident to meet the oral health needs of a wide variety of medically compromised ambulatory and hospitalized patients, plus it advances the residents' knowledge and skill in clinical dentistry by exposing them to a significant number of supervised, comprehensive treatment experiences. The program provides residents with the opportunity to interact with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers and other health care professionals as part of a multi-disciplinary health care team.

The Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency Program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation *. The Commission on Dental Accreditation can be contacted at:
