I'm nearing the end of my first year in dental school and I've talked to a lot of older students who have said that in dental school they get very little exposure to several things I'm interested in (molar endo, ortho, implant placement, and sedation dentistry). I've heard that some of the AEGD/GPR residencies, especially those through VA hospitals, give good exposure to working on these types of cases and was wondering what peoples' experiences with these types of residencies have been. I've considered doing a traditional residency in oral surgery but I like the variety of general practice. It seems as though many procedures I'm interested in doing are possible to learn through CE courses, but I would feel more confident in my skills if I had learned those procedures in a residency setting, rather than from a product rep. I appreciate any and all advice that anyone can offer. Thanks in advance!
