This 12-month, optional 24-month, residency will accept a total of seven dental student graduates who have fulfilled all admission requirements and applied though the PASS application service.  The program will start with orientation the last week of June and end on June 30 of the following calendar year.  Each resident will receive a stipend and benefit package consistent with Ascension Macomb-Oakland PGY1 or PGY2 level.  Each graduating resident will be awarded a certificate of program completion.

The AEGD curriculum is designed to meet program goals, objectives and CODA Standards, which lead to competence by providing both didactic and clinical learning opportunities for residents.

Didactic educational opportunities are provided in addition to clinical experiences. Many of the courses are master's level courses and include material and participation of residents from other specialty programs. The courses are offered to the AEGD resident as additional educational experiences; however, residents are not subject to the same grading criteria as the specialty program residents and will not receive credit towards a master’s degree. Most courses are taught as seminars, focusing on case-based discussions. Continuing education courses (CE) are included whenever possible to cover required topics and promote networking with dental professionals from a variety of backgrounds and practices.

After the first year, two second-year positions may be made available to graduating residents. The total number of residents shall not exceed seven. The decision to pursue the second year must be made by the end of the first six months of year one. A PGY 2 "chief resident" position will contribute to the enrichment of the academic curricula and offer interested candidates access to administrative and academic development programs. In addition to serving as a liaison between administrative faculty and first-year residents, the chief resident will be provided with advanced training as a second-year resident. Each second-year resident has the opportunity to teach in the pre-doctoral clinic in the Fall and Winter semester, one clinic session per week. The second-year resident will be asked to pursue an area of specific interest (e.g. research, public health, a particular clinical discipline, etc). Concentrated instruction will be provided to promote development in the chosen area.
