Temple University Dental School's Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Program! This twelve-month-long postdoctoral program is nationally recognized for the excellence of its clinical and didactic curricular components. Although our AEGD Program is not hospital-based, we refer to our students as Residents. We are part of the Temple University Health Science Center, and our practice base includes many outpatients with complex medical histories who are referred to our Residents for the dental care they require before undergoing cardiac or renal transplant surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy for cancer. The AEGD Faculty members are dedicated to providing a learning environment that encourages each Resident to maximize his or her clinical potential, in order to undergo the metamorphosis from a fourth year dental student to a professional practice colleague. At the end of the Program Year, your Faculty and I want nothing more than to see you "hit the ground running" as you enter professional practice! In fact, many practices contact us to recruit our Residents for employment.
 
TO applicants be careful, my friend graduated from Temple last year and said their AEGD program is horrible.
 
Obviously Stroszeck Has NO IDEA what their talking about. I actually know a guy who did the program few years back and said it was a real good program. The area is probably the biggest drawback. They do LOTS of Fixed Prosthodontics and Implants from what I heard. They have seminars to learn Rotary Endo and do Molar Root Canals. They have NO graduate prosthodontic program there so you as an AEGD Resident see a lot of Prosthodontic cases. I would call it a mini-prosthodontic program from they guy who did the program few years back.
 
Um...ok...i'm just giving a buyer beware to people. Of course you should always go and check out the school and program on your own as opposed to listenig to random internet rants. All i know is i asked my friend again today and he said that they graduate over 120 people each year from temple and the last several years only 1-2 people TOTAL have attended AEGD at temple whil others have gone on to do AEGD and GPR at other local schools and hospitals....If that isn't a red flag of sorts then i don't know what is...To each his own i guess.
