Resident, Dental

Regions Hospital/HealthPartners Institute AEGD residents must meet the qualifications for resident eligibility as outlined in the HealthPartners Institute Policy on selection and credentialing of residents.

 

Resident education involves supervised, progressively more complex and independent patient evaluation and patient management functions and formal educational activities. Accordingly, the competency of each resident is evaluated on a regular basis.

 

Residents provide care commensurate with their level of advancement and competence, under the general supervision of appropriately privileged attending teaching staff and senior residents/fellows. It is each resident’s responsibility to notify their immediate supervisor and to seek assistance if there are any issues that may jeopardize patient safety, or if the resident feels he/she is being asked to function beyond the level of competence.
