GPR/AEGD vs postgrad "corporate" employment of same duration

[tonywonder]

Compare a gen postdoc program (say 2 yrs) with large practice employment of the same duration - in the context of ultimately preparing one for solo practice. Is short-term, post-grad "corporate" employment considered a practical alternative to postdoc programs?

I imagine the value of a residency is the advanced education needed to run a successful solo practice. How does a residency compare to corporate employment in terms of sharpening and expanding clinical skills? Would a 1st-year dentist at a large practice be limited to clinical cases similar to that of pre-doc?
