The University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry Division of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Care, in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), offers a one-year internship position at the PGY-1 level for dentists who are seeking to gain an additional year of education and experience in anesthesiology & perioperative care while in pursuit of becoming dentist anesthesiologist specialist. This is designed to be the ideal program for a gap year between dental school and a categorical 36-month residency program, especially for those that have already applied into dental anesthesiology residency programs and who did not MATCH.

The primary goal of this internship is to provide each intern with an in-depth view of the role of the dentist anesthesiologist specialist in the preoperative evaluation and preparation of pediatric and adult patients for dental and surgical operations, and in their intraoperative and postoperative management.

To meet this goal, the internship is designed to provide a robust introduction to the practice of dental anesthesiology, with introductory education and experiences in:
  • basic science and medical technology review
  • applied cardiopulmonary physiology and resuscitation
  • pre-operative assessment and treatment planning
  • anesthesia equipment, supplies, ordering, and operations management
  • patient monitoring
  • intravenous access and cannulation
  • pharmacology, medication preparation, and delivery
  • basic and advanced airway management
  • anesthesia crisis resource management (ACRM)
  • perioperative systems of care and principles of patient safety

DISLAIMERS:

This program is designed as a robust non-categorical preliminary post-graduate training year, completed after graduation from an accredited dental school, and prior to entering a categorical dental anesthesiology residency training program.

The salary for the anesthesiology intern is provided through the dental school. It is NOT a GME funded program.

This program is not intended to provide clinical training that would allow the intern, upon internship completion, to independently perform intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia, and is not intended to be a training course to support an application to a state dental board for a permit to independently administer sedation or general anesthesia.

Interesting to see this development. I’m sure UoP is considering making a full on residency program out of this

Due to the timing of the Phase 2 Match and the submission deadline of the Rank Order List being January 10th, 2025, we are planning to close the application cycle for this internship early (7 strong applications already received) and will be offering interviews asap so that we can offer the single intern position as soon as possible to allow our applicants to make the best choice for their next step in their training.
