Georgia - Good Samaritan Health Center - AEGD

Good Samaritan Health Center’s dental department offers an accredited one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry Program (AEGD) with the option of a second year focused on Public Health.  The Department’s goal is to provide excellent well rounded advanced training in general dentistry procedures for individuals looking to have a career in general dentistry serving in a Public Health metropolitan location or small rural community setting.

Good Samaritan is a non-profit community health center located in the West End community of Atlanta about one mile from Mercedes Benz Stadium.  The center offers a full compliment of primary medical, dental and behavioral health services with the goal of providing the full circle of health for our patients.  The clinic’s stated mission is “Sharing Christ’s love through quality health care with those in need” and the patient population is the working poor of Atlanta.  We have a 15 chair dental clinic equipped for modern 4-handed dentistry including digital x-rays and CBCT.

The program provides clinical and didactic training for comprehensive care and our medical department provides support for handling patients with more complex medical issues.  We also have boarded specialty support for oral surgery and periodontics.  Our department director has extensive training in endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics.  Good Samaritan is partnered with another local NYU-Langone AEGD program to provide ongoing lecture, seminars, hands on continuing education and other presentations that cover a wide range of advanced dental topics.
