Due to some unanticipated circumstances, I am pleased to let you know that the UCLA School of Dentistry has an open slot in its Venice AEGD Program. If you think you are qualified and you can get to campus by Monday June 30, 2008 to participate in the School and Medical Center Orientations (or you know someone else who is), I am interested in considering you for the spot. Information about the program is listed below. Please contact me by email at [email protected] by noon (Pacific time zone) on Sunday June 29, 2008 and I will give you the details about where you need to be at 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning at the UCLA campus. In that email I would like the following information: your name, your email, your telephone numbers, your graduation date and your ADA accredited School.
For your interview on Monday you will need to bring the following additional materials:
1. General Application Form (with current photo attached).
2. Curriculum Vitae.
3. Copy of dental school transcript (official needs to be provided following acceptance).
4. Copy of National Board scores Part I (official needs to be provided following acceptance).
5. Three references with contact information who will be promptly available for a telephone call.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
David Reynolds

Information about the Program:
Program Overview
The Advanced Education in General Dentistry Venice Program is a one year postdoctoral certificate program with a major emphasis in clinical general dentistry. It is for those dental school graduates who plan to remain a general practitioner and who wish for additional intensive training in treating various complex and comprehensive cases. The program is designed to prepare each resident to provide culturally competent patient-centered care in the private practice setting or community clinic general dentistry environment. A graduate of this program would be expected to have a wide and in-depth level of skills and knowledge to practice general dentistry, and to be comfortable in having interactions with various dental specialties.
