Clinic Education

Clinical instruction and practice are conducted in the school’s orthodontic clinic in six half-day clinics per week, providing treatment for children and adolescents (75% of caseload) and adults (25% of caseload), including multidisciplinary cases (integrated with periodontal and restorative procedures).

Each resident starts approximately 50-55 new patients and 50-60 transfer patients during the residency program.

Residents are also rotated through the Children's Hospital Oakland Craniofacial Panel and the Stanford Sleep Surgery clinic.

Residents are scheduled for didactic and clinical instruction five full days per week and full participation is required. 虽然没有禁止周末私人牙科诊所, residents’ commitments during the program may make extracurricular schedules challenging.
