Welcoming Our Newest Advanced Education Residents

New residents at grand rounds We’re thrilled to introduce our newest group of residents, fellows and interns at the UF College of Dentistry who are pursuing advanced and graduate education in one of 13 areas of dentistry. They were selected from more than 1,200 people who applied during the last application cycle. The school facilitates the integration of these advanced education programs, ultimately improving the education that residents receive and better preparing them for the future, and also improving the patient experience involved in interdisciplinary care.

Students in these programs frequently work together on cases, take the majority of core courses together, and have an increased need for understanding patient treatment from the perspective of the other specialties.
