Miami Valley Hospital CDI General Practice Residency (GPR)

The premier dental residency program, sponsored by Miami Valley Hospital.

General Practice Residency (GPR) Program at Miami Valley Hospital

The General Practice Residency Program sponsored by Miami Valley Hospital, in cooperation with Cleveland Dental Institute, is a one-year program.

The program provides clinical, didactic and hospital experiences that prepare the resident to manage the total oral health of ambulatory and hospitalized patients. The overall objective of the GPR Program is to produce general dentists who have developed skills that will allow them to practice total patient care including advanced dental procedures as well as the evaluation of the overall health of their patients.

Residents obtain clinical experience in an 11 operatory hospital dental center. Here, residents work with trained support staff including hygienists, chairside assistants, and expanded function dental auxilaries.

While assigned to the Cleveland Dental Institute Dental Center, residents will provide general dentistry services to patients presenting to the facility under the supervision of general dentists and specialists. Specialists at the MVH Dental Center will provide resident training in endodontics, oral surgery, pedodontics, periodontics, and implantology. The residents will also have the opportunity to participate in a Conscious Sedation Elective which, when successfully completed, qualify the resident for a Conscious Sedation Permit in Ohio. We award a certificate after successful completion of our program.
