Considerations for Applying
We offer four PGY1 training positions and one PGY2 position each year.
- How to Apply
Application materials and supporting documentation must be submitted through PASS. Applicants must have completed either a pre-or postdoctoral program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. We do not participate in MATCH. Applications are now closed for the 2025-2026 interview season. We anticipate the 2027-2028 application cycle to open in May of 2026 and will update accordingly.
Selection guidelines:

- Applicants should rank in the top half of their dental school class.
- Applicants should have a GPA of 3.0 or higher in dental school.

- An applicant who does not meet the first three guidelines may be considered if their academic record reflects notable, consistent improvement and they are supported by exceptional letters of recommendation.
- Applicants should submit a 2x2 Photo with their application or email separately to complete the application.
Applicant submissions are reviewed by the Selection Committee, which consists of the program director and at least two other faculty members. Applicants who are considered for the program must participate in a personal interview that is conducted in October/November.
