The individual will ensure that the program maintains full compliance with CODA accreditation standards and will lead the preparation of required documentation and support for site visits and reporting. In addition to managing program logistics, the candidate will collaborate with faculty from across disciplines and with institutional partners to support high-quality patient care and an integrated educational experience for residents. Supervision, evaluation, and mentorship of residents are central responsibilities of this role.

In addition to duties specific to the AEGD program, the selected candidate will contribute to the clinical education of predoctoral dental students when appropriate and will be encouraged to participate in scholarly activity and quality improvement initiatives that align with the program’s mission.

A track record of administration experience and outstanding patient care, as well as a demonstration of or likely commitment to diversity-related teaching/research/service are highly desirable. Engagement and familiarity in interdisciplinary treatment planning and modern restorative techniques, including esthetic and digital dentistry, is preferred but not required.
