Wanted to ask some information about the program. Thank you!
I run an NYU/L AEGD, and I also was a resident myself. I think there are only a few GPR's, and many more AEGD's. Every program is totally different other than an overarching framework. What questions do you have?

To my knowledge GPR/AEGD programs aren't allowed deferment, but can forbear, since technically many states don't require them to practice and they don't "teach" you new skills beyond being a GP. How true that is can be very debatable.
I also did the NYU Lutheran GPR so if you still need answers I can help.
It’s really hard to do this because each program is so different. Some may be heavy in extractions, others in Endo and implants. I personally chose my location based off the fact it was attached/associated to a dental school with no specialties. To be completely real, as a resident, you don’t learn a great deal from the conferences and modules they assign you as a graduation requirement. You just don’t have time to give each the attention it would require, and I personally struggle with self learning in an online format...I just can’t find the motivation unless I’m required to be in class and tested on the material.
At my locations (remember it’s at a dental school), we have prosthodontists, surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, etc. always in the building that are willing to answer any questions and provide supplemental lectures at our request. We are also included in any specialty CE courses run through the school. This has been huge for us.
As for my experience, I would say that it has completely surpassed my expectations. We’ve all done every type of case, and have met our graduation requirements in the first 6 months. Cases are complex (fully guided implant placement, apico, CT graft, horizontal impaction, coronectomy etc.) Molar Endo every week, difficult restorations, crown and bridge etc. it’s been really busy and really rewarding.
Again, I don’t know that I can say the same for all NYUL programs, but just based off of mine, it’s worth the year. If you have any specific questions feel free to message me.
Hey, where is the location of your program?
Which program are you attending? You can PM me if you don't want to sayIt’s really hard to do this because each program is so different. Some may be heavy in extractions, others in Endo and implants.
