Residents spend approximately nine months practicing general dentistry. The remaining months are spent on rotations. There are rotations in oral and maxillofacial surgery, anesthesia, medicine, and emergency medicine. Throughout the year residents will be scheduled to work with the attending staff providing general dentistry and oral surgery in the operating room. GPRs provide emergency dental coverage for the hospitals via a pager.

Many students desire additional post-graduate experience and training in general dentistry prior to embarking in the "real world" as a general dentist. Several opportunities exist for additional study in all or selected aspects of the practice of general dentistry.
