participating in one of 8 general and
specialty programs. In addition, our
faculty expanded from 525 to 645
dental leaders and highly-skilled
practitioners who mentored our
students and supported them as they
developed expertise to face any oral
healthcare challenge.
Under the direction of Dr. Charles
Azzaretti, LMC Dental’s Dental
Anesthesiology program will expand
with the incoming class in 2015 from
a 2-year program to a 3-year program
with significant focus on research
in year 3. Our AEGD, GPR, Orofacial
Pain and Endontics programs
received accolades from CODA site
reviewers and were approved without
recommendations.
I am proud that LMC Dental has
expanded its good works to
communities in need while at the
same time providing excellent
preparation for the future challenges
of oral healthcare. With more than
300 training sites in our general and
specialty programs, LMC Dental
remains the most innovative and
largest postdoctoral residency
program in the world. I am excited
about the future and re-commit to
collaboratively finding solutions to
inequities in access to oral healthcare.
