Congratulations to everyone who matched!
To anyone applying/re-applying to peds, I encourage you to join the new Pre-Pediatric Dentistry Virtual Group on Facebook (
Facebook Groups)
I recently wrote an ebook, The Big Guide to Applying to Residency for Little Teeth, and it includes information on how to create the best application possible with examples of how to write better CV and PASS activity descriptions. I walk through the process of transforming a personal statement with specific examples. I wrote 18 open-ended questions to guide writing your personal statement and 100 questions, organized by different categories (sedation, OR experience, transition to residency, autonomy and support, etc.) that are great to ask at externships and interviews.
People in the group can participate in the virtual volunteering opportunities I have set up with elementary schools in my county, a childcare facility for low income children and a non-profit for at-risk youth as I know volunteering at this time may be challenging.
I've worked with students across all specialties transforming personal statements and conducting mock interviews, and I'm looking forward to working with even more.
The guide is completely free and available for download upon joining the group.
I hope to meet some of you there!
