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?

There’s only one NYU Lutheran gpr and it’s in Brooklyn. Just wanted some input about the experience

Also have a question and thank you in advance.
quick question for whoever can answer it. Is it true that the loan deferment doesn't occur with Lutheran AEGD programs?

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.

Can we get an overall review of your experience?

Every NYUL program has its own strengthens and weaknesses. For example, my program is at a Health Center, we don't have specialists, but we do have a bunch of GP's who have a wide range of skills. We don't do implants, but we do TONS of Endo (endo is free for most of our patients) - my resident last year finished with 97 RCT's, about 50 were molars. We do a lot of restorative, and you get tons of Triage / Dental Emergency management, but with our patient population we don't really get like full mouth rehab, or many big esthetic cases, but you do a decent number of single unit fixed. And we do tons of extractions and removable. What I consider our biggest strength is Resident Autonomy - you are essentially a regular provider at our health center, you can get help when you need it or want it, and do get general guidance, but otherwise you're set free to treat your patients the best you can, and that helps you build up speed and especially confidence. Many NYUL programs are similar in this regard, and it really helps with the transition out of dental school. Once I finished my program, I felt totally confident to move into the next phase of my career.

Ideally you want to find a program that helps fill in the blanks from dental school, and will be able to get you the experiences you need.

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?
