Program History

The Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program was established in 1995 as a one-year program fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). An optional second year is also available.

On July 1, 1995, AEGD opened with four residents, a dental hygienist, and four front desk staff and dental assistants. Since then, we have received three Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Title VII Residency Training Grants for improvement and expansion of the program. Our latest grant (2010-2015) of nearly $1.3 million made it possible for our residents to rotate through off-site clinics to care for underserved populations while gaining cultural competency.

In May 1948, Edward C.
