Dental Education consists of two main divisions:
Our General Practice Residency Program has ten positions available each year. Dental Residents are graduates from ADA accredited dental schools and elect to participate in our hospital-based dental residency program. Dental residents work under the direction of our dental faculty. Dr. Craige J. Olson, DDS, is Director of the Dental Clinic and Program Director of the General Practice Residency Program (GPR). Our residents come from all over the U.S. and Canada. The University of Utah has two modern, fully equipped and staffed, dental clinics to accommodate patients and residents: University Hospital Dental Clinic and the Greenwood Health Center Dental Clinic. Residents also participate in rotations at the Community Health Clinics of Salt Lake City, Primary Children's Hospital, and Montezuma Creek Dental Clinic. Our intention is that the resident be well prepared for rural practice. Regional Dental Education Program The Regional Dental Education Program helps provide dental education to twenty Utah resident students each year. Ten Utah resident students are accepted for the RDEP-Creighton program and attend the first year at the University of Utah then attend Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. Additionally, ten Utah resident students are selected for the RDEP At Large scholarship program. Students selected for the RDEP programs who return to Utah to practice dentistry are eligible for tuition reimbursement funds. Dr. G. Lynn Powell, DDS, Assistant Dean for Dental Education in the School of Medicine and Chief of Dental Services, supervises all dental education at the University of Utah. Message from G. Lynn Powell, DDS Asst. Dean for Dental Education Chief of Dental Services 
"Dental Education programs at the University of Utah are designed to develop and enhance the skills and abilities of participants. Our goal is to offer quality education at a reasonable cost. First year students are introduced to the dental profession and receive their first year of dental education in a friendly, small- class-size atmosphere. Welcomed as colleagues, dental residents further their education by enhancing clinical skills and interacting with experienced practitioners and faculty. Dental Research at the University of Utah centers on improving clinical treatment for patients. All inquiries about dental education programs at the University of Utah or about clinical services are welcome."
