So my GPR program isn't really providing me with the implant experience as they advertised to me at interview day. Some shifting admin/bureaucracy things happened and now it looks like it's going to be limited, maybe placing 1 or 2 if we're lucky... probably none.
So I'm flirting with the idea of applying to another GPR next year where I can get to place some, but going through the application cycle again might be very awkward with my program director. I don't really know how to say "Hey, I want to do a more than you're providing" without inadvertently disparaging my current program.
I'm on the fence about this option anyway because I'd lose another year of income potential, living on resident salary... but that said, I'm still a fresh-faced dentist so I could do it.
I don't have much insight into this. Only thing I hear is to stay away from year-long implant programs.
Can any practicing GP enlighten me?
