The
General Dentistry
Program at the LSU
School of Dentistry and
affiliated hospitals in
the LSU Health Care
Services Division is a
one-year/optional
second-year
hospital-based
residency. The program
offers a unique
opportunity for an
advanced clinical and
didactic experience in a
university hospital
environment with
additional training in
the arts and sciences
basic to a general
dental practice. The
objectives of the
program are to educate
dentists to function as
part of a hospital team
and to gain competency
in diagnosing and
rendering comprehensive
and preventive dental
treatment for the
medically compromised
patient. A general
dentistry certificate as
well as a moderate
sedation certificate are
awarded to each resident
who successfully
completes the program.
The
primary teaching
hospitals are the
University Medical
Center of Louisiana at
New Orleans (UMC) and
Our Lady of the Lake
Regional Medical Center
in Baton Rouge. Other
affiliated teaching
institutions are the
LSUHSC School of
Dentistry (LSUSD), New
Orleans; the LSUHSC
School of Medicine, New
Orleans; LSU
School of Dentistry
Clinic, Baton Rouge;
and Southeast Louisiana
Veterans Health Care
System’s Dental Clinic,
in both New Orleans and
Baton Rouge. Rotations
are scheduled through
the departments of
comprehensive care, oral
and maxillofacial
surgery, general
anesthesia, emergency
medicine and implant
dentistry. Residents are
also instructed in
hospital protocol and
organization.
Comprehensive inpatient
and outpatient care is
emphasized, including
extensive use of the
operating room.
Residents may also gain
experience in teaching
pre-doctoral students at
LSUSD.
Appointment
to the program is for a
twelve-month period
beginning July 1 through
June 30, with a contract
being sent after
notification of
acceptance. The second
year is optional for the
resident and the
program. Residents must
be accepted for a second
year. A new contract is
signed at the end of the
first year for the
second resident year.
The program requires
participation in the
Postdoctoral Application
Support Service (PASS).
A personal interview
with faculty members and
a tour of the LSUHSC
School of Dentistry
facilities in New
Orleans or Baton Rouge
are usually conducted
during October and
November. Applications
are accepted from senior
dental students who will
be completing their
predoctoral studies or
from graduates of dental
schools recognized by
the American Dental
Association Commission
on Dental Accreditation
and who have
successfully completed
Part I of the National
Board Examinations
and/or INBDE. Applicants
are required to secure a
restricted or full
license to practice
dentistry in Louisiana
upon acceptance as a
resident in the program
(exam for restricted
license will be
scheduled at
orientation).
All
graduation
requirements of a
resident's dental
school, NBDE Part 2,
and/or INBDE must be
successfully completed
by May 31 or the
student will be
dropped from the
program. Any
exceptions must be
approved by the GPR
Program Director.
The LSU
GPR PASS deadline is
October 1; all
supplemental papers and
the PASS application
must be received by LSU
by October 15.
