PHOENIX, Ariz.—Brighter Way Dental Institute, which provides oral and dental care to individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans and low-income individuals and families, has been named an affiliate training site for Jacksonville University’s Comprehensive Oral Implantology Residency program. Jacksonville University will be offering a Master of Science in Dentistry and a Certificate in Comprehensive Oral Implantology for dentists who complete the 36-month residency program.

The residency program will offer the resident dentists hands-on training in the specialty of Implant Dentistry and will expand Brighter Way’s scope of services under the direction of Dr. R. Todd Erickson, who will be Faculty Director for the program and Director of Education at Brighter Way. Dr. Erickson is an advanced dental educator who specializes in teaching implant dentistry. He is the nation’s only dually certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon - oral and maxillofacial radiologist. He will be a full-time member of the Brighter Way dental team.

Only 14 Jacksonville University residents will participate in the program, 13 at private practice locations working under highly experienced oral implantologists across the country and one at Brighter Way. Dr. Michael Rosen has been selected to complete his three-year residency at Brighter Way institute’s downtown Phoenix. Additional residents will be brought in every year.

The full-time 36-month residency program combines 90 credits of clinical training with didactic online course work. Supported by the Comprehensive Oral Implantology Residency Foundation (COIRF), the program is recognized as using the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) post-graduate core curriculum for dental implantology.
