General Information

This 12-month residency will accept four to six dental student graduates who have fulfilled all admission requirements and applied using the PASS application service. The program will start on 01 July and end on 30 June of the following calendar year. Each resident will receive a competitive stipend at the PGY 1 level and will be provided with a benefit package consistent with St. John Riverview first year residents. Each graduating resident will be awarded a certificate of program completion.

After the first year, two second-year positions may be made available to graduating residents. A PGY 2 "chief resident" position will contribute to the enrichment of the academic curricula and offer interested candidates access to administrative and academic development programs. In addition to serving as a liaison between administrative faculty and first year residents, the chief resident will be provided with advanced training as a second year resident. Each second year resident will be asked to pursue an area of specific interest (e.g. teaching, research, public health, a particular clinical discipline, etc.). Concentrated instruction will be provided to promote development in the chosen area.

While not mandatory, resident participation in development and dissemination of new knowledge is strongly encouraged. Residents can participate in one of the clinical or basic science projects that are ongoing in the School of Dentistry, or propose and develop new topics of research.
