North Carolina AEGD model.
The financial resource and expense management experience of the University of North Carolina Advanced Education in General Dentistry program has been presented. The program relies heavily on clinic productivity and effective financial management to counter challenges imposed by a diminishing state budget appropriation to the School of Dentistry and the lack of financial flexibility within the state university system. The School of Dentistry is firmly established and highly regarded within the university; administrative support for the program from within the school has been substantial and is ongoing. The program continues to actively pursue external funding applications; nonetheless, resource augmentation to date has been a largely internal matter through maximal and efficient use of existing means.
