Advanced Education -- General
Practice Residency
Department of Comprehensive Dentistry &
Biomaterials
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. 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 and NBDE Part 2 must be successfully completed prior to the start of
residency on July 1 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.
