GSO also celebrates fourth graduating class of orthodontic residents
ATLANTA (September 22, 2022) - Atlanta residents soon will have greater access to more affordable orthodontic care as the Georgia School of Orthodontics is now able to train more resident dentists in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics to serve the public at its two Atlanta campuses. GSO has received approval from the Commission on Dental Accreditation to increase residents' enrollment from 36 orthodontic residents per class to 45 per class at each campus.
This is the school's second approval to increase its enrollment, with the first approval in 2020 granting an increase from 18 to 36 orthodontic residents per class.
With the largest orthodontic residency program in the nation, the school's mission is to educate outstanding dentists to be proficient in the clinical specialty of orthodontics while providing affordable care to local communities and the underserved population.
"We are thrilled to receive another approval from the Commission on Dental Accreditation to increase our class size of residents," said GSO President and Board Chairman Dr. Randy Kluender. "Being able to educate and train more orthodontic specialists will help increase the public's access to more affordable orthodontic care."
GSO recently celebrated the graduation of its fourth class of residents, as well as its sixth anniversary since its inception in 2016. In addition to providing the Atlanta community with accessible orthodontic treatment, the school has also provided $225,000 of complimentary care through its Gift of a Smile, Gift of a Smile Heroes and Purple Heart Smiles programs.
"Providing Georgians better access to high quality orthodontic treatment at a significantly lower cost is extremely important to our residents, faculty and staff," said GSO Program Director Dr. Ricky Harrell. "We also aim to instill in our residents the importance of providing their communities complimentary orthodontic care, and we hope that each graduate will continue this commitment when they become practicing orthodontists."
