Organizational Unit Overview
The School of Dental Medicine is composed of ten administrative offices and four academic departments. The Administrative units include the Offices of the Dean, Vice Dean, Associate Dean for Student Affairs, Associate Dean for Research, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, Associate Dean for Extramural Clinical Practices, Assistant Dean for Dental Education and Informatics, Assistant Dean for Educational Support and Faculty Development, Assistant Dean for Academic Success and the Assistant Dean for Business Operations and Financial Affairs. The four academic departments are Surgical Sciences, Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, General Dentistry, and Foundational Sciences.
Included in the mission of the School of Dental Medicine is to educate dental care providers (both dental students and dental residents) and to address the oral health care needs of the underserved population of North Carolina. The School of Dental Medicine meets these missions by operating dental clinics that provide both educational experiences for the dental students and residents and provides dental care to the residents of North Carolina. These clinics occur in both Ross Hall in Greenville, North Carolina, as well as Community Service-Learning Centers located throughout North Carolina. In order to operate these clinics, appropriate dental auxiliaries and clinical staff are needed.
Job Duties
The Faculty of the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Program will be responsible for assisting the director in implementing this program at the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine. AEGD residents will receive their training at one of the eight Community Service Learning Centers located in underserved, primarily rural areas of North Carolina and at the School of Dental Medicine's Greenville location. The Faculty will be responsible for teaching in the AEGD program both didactically and clinically. The Faculty reports directly to the Director of the AEGD but will work closely with the Associate Dean for Extramural Clinical Practices, the Department Chair of General Dentistry, and other administrators.
Specific duties include:

• Leading AEGD resident didactics, including seminars, literature reviews, and case presentations.
• Collaborating with and contributing to didactic and clinical activities with the ECU General Practice Residency program.
• Providing clinical teaching in ambulatory settings as assigned.
• Preparing performance evaluations for residents and other reports as necessary.
• Periodic visits to the Community Service Learning Centers to view and evaluate resident experiences first-hand.
• Assisting with resident recruitment and selection.
• Assisting with the preparation and submission of grants to secure additional funding for this program.
• Working closely with the Director of the AEGD, Chair of General Dentistry, and the Assistant Dean for Extramural Clinical Practices to ensure successful operation and CODA accreditation of the residency program.
• Participating in the after-hours call schedule as assigned.
• Commitment to the Mission and Vision of the School of Dental Medicine, including both a community-based and a generalist model of dental education.
• Commitment to evidence-based teaching and practice.
• Other responsibilities and duties as assigned by the Director of the AEGD program, Department Chair of General Dentistry, or the Dean of the School of Dental Medicine.
