Hi

Hey guys. Why is it that some perio residencies get GME funding and some do not? Is it because certain programs have components with affiliated hospitals vs. being dental school based? Does the GME money only come from Medicare or Medicaid or where, or on a state-by-state basis ? Or if a...

Hello all, I am currently a D2 finishing up third semester and I’ve found that I would love to pursue a speciality in Endodontics. The problem is that I struggled mightily during the first year of dental school (not because of academic ability, but due to personal issues: close death in the...

I am looking to get more of an idea about the spectrum of intensity/rigor of the existing OMFS residency programs out there. As a dental student, you hear things about the various reputations of these programs, but the info seems to be pretty limited and difficult to come by. For example, I've...

Hey guys, Im in my 4th year, and I was considering applying to endo next cycle for 2020. I know only some programs require ADAT, while others accept it, but would it increase my chances if I were to take it?

I am a current D4 and I am torn between applying to residency or going straight to work. What is the personal experience from anyone who has done a GPR/AEGD? I have heard so many things. Some people have said it is a waste of time and they wish they would have gone straight to work because their...

Hi, I'm a third year dental student from Canada who is interested in pedo. It seems most Canadian programs only accept applicants who have at least one year of experience after DDS and then offer a 3-year program. I am not too keen on investing 4 additional years so I'm currently looking at US...

I participated today in a school seminar given to my class by one of the local dentists who was talking to us about Implantology and the current trends in the field. I found the field fascinating did a bit of research into the field. So after hours of searching, I learned that there is no...

Being almost done my first year of Dental school and going to second year, I was lucky to get some exposure to a few of the dental specialties and OMFS caught my attention. It is to my understanding that in North America there are 4 and 6 year programs with the 6 year programs granting a MD. My...

Hey! What type of hospital jobs are available after completing an OMFS residency? Any limited to those with the MD (6-Year)? I heard that one can pursue oncology afterwards and was curious what they are open to practice in a hospital setting! Thanks, guys! :)

Hi, I'm an international dentist in Australia planning to come to attend an American School for furthering my studies after dental school (GPR or residency). I understand I need to have an ADA approved dental degree in order to be able to practice in USA + getting accepted into residency or GPR...

Hi, I am an international dentist from India, considering a move to the US for doing a 2-year residency in one of the specialties. I wanted to know which dental schools provide an H1B visa for dental residents. The residency usually pays a stipend and hence F1 visa is not really an option. Are...
