Why the UNMC General Practice Residency (GPR) Program?

The UNMC General Practice Residency (GPR) program is designed for individuals seeking advanced training in delivering comprehensive health care in traditional dental environments, as well as in hospital and associated health care settings. Residents gain experience interacting with other members of an interdisciplinary health care team in a variety of clinical situations, with full consideration of the patient's dental and medical needs.

Residents refine their clinical skills through individualized training, taking into account their unique abilities, background, and career goals. The program also focuses on helping individuals develop practice management skills that are transferable to private practice.

The program is based at the Durham Outpatient Center in Omaha, and residents rotate to the Veterans Administration Western Iowa Nebraska Health Care System, which provides a second clinical and hospital training site, expanding the range of experiences available to residents.

Residents receive a stipend and benefits package. GME-eligible postgraduate students are eligible for a flexible benefits package, which includes options for health, life and disability insurance.

Student Story

"I chose UNMC because I was eager to learn about the complexities of hospital dentistry. Sedation and medical clearance have always fascinated me. I love that I get to work through complicated treatment plans, performing all aspects of care myself while having the support of my attendings every day. I feel fortunate to have this year to deepen my knowledge of dentistry, and I truly enjoy working with so many wonderful people!" - Dr. Jessica Murphree, Omaha
