The Department of Dental Anesthesiology provides both clinical and didactic training in managing medical emergencies in the dental setting. This includes management of the STAT program, as well as providing predoctoral and doctoral training through DSANE 5344, DSANE 2114 and DENT5272. These courses and programs are typically covered by the full-time dental anesthesiology faculty, however recent faculty departures will cause the number of full-time faculty members will shrink to shrink to two beginning September 1, 2026. At this point, we will not be able to handle our current teaching load without the addition of part-time faculty. For this reason, we are seeking a qualified individual with significant experience in the management of medical emergencies in the dental setting who is also able and willing to participate in the teaching of the courses named above. With the filling of this position, the department will be able to maintain all of its current teaching responsibilities.
