Currently a resident at Morristown Medical Center. Just thought I share my 2 cents about the program in case anyone was interested.
So far: great experience
-4 handed dentistry
-each resident has their own RDA (they are able to pack cords, take impressions, make temp crowns,etc - saves -you time while you work on anther pt.
-digital x-rays/pan, everything is electronic
-CEREC training
-Endo with microscopes
-each residents get to place 8 implants by the end of the program
-rotary endo
-able to treatment plan to ideal with certain pts without having to worry about finance
-great OS experience and pediatric experience
-get to go in OR with oral surgeon to assist in mandibular fractures, maxillary fractures, etc.
-$500 educational stipend and $1000 meal card for the year
-subsidized housing across the street (walk to work!)
-by the end of the year.. you are to have and completed one large case which may include full mouth rehab
-the director of the program wants you to succeed and will try to help you as best as she can to find you placement after residency.
Overall, if you are looking to practice in all aspects of general dentistry, this is a great place to do your training. Staff and attendings are great, not much to complain about
Best advice is to visit the program and apply.
+ Only 1hr train ride to NYC. Let me know if you have any other questions.
