2011 cycle AEGD and GPR Interviews

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I received an invite in the middle of last week to U of Michigan interview for next month. Sorry🙁
If it helps at all, Michigan's AEGD seemed to do rolling interviews last year - I got an interview invitation really late in the cycle (I got the notification in November, iirc), so I wouldn't say someone's completely out of the running if they haven't received an invite yet.
 
Thanks ltb. Did you go for the Michigan interview? How would you rate the program?

I've accepted a GPR position at Summa Health Systems (Akron City Hospital) First choice. I can't wait!!!
What made you choose this program? What diversity of procedures are offered?

Thanks

The residents gain experience in every specialty except for ortho and pedo is limited... but it attracted me when I heard about placing implants and the residents told me that if there is any surgery or experience you want, the director nearly always approves of it and gets someone to guide you. The residents seemed very satisfied and I liked that there are only 4 residents so I'd imagine the experience will be greater and we will get more personal attention in our work/discussion of cases.
 
Anyone hear from any more cali schools? Starting to get anxious
 
Washington DC VAMC today via email for any day the week of 11/15.
 
Hi, do you guys know if the programs do not even contact the applicants if they decide to not offer interviews or do they have give courtesy contacts to let the applicants down? Did programs tell you that they received the applications?
Thanks in advance!
 
Anyone heard from programs in Boston yet?
 
I must say I am bummed by the response to my applications. I am the 1st ranked student of my class, I have been Class representative to committees in my School, I have extra-curricular stuff to show include community service and yet I haven't got an invite from any of the programs that I was hoping for. In fact my classmates were deriding me for applying to AEGD saying that my credentials were good for ortho. I really don't know what went wrong!!!
 
Anyone hear from the VA's in the NYC area?

Sorry to hear that... I didn't hear from any cali places yet so i'm probably in the same boat.

Hi, it's ok. I heard that Methodist already did invites )o:, it seems like it is really competitive this year. The VA's especially. Are there still programs that haven't done their invites, or is the invite period pretty much over?

So far, I have received interview invites from these California VAs:
Long Beach
West LA
Palo Alto
Northern California(Mare Island)

Anyone hear from San Francisco VA?
 
Has anyone interviewed at Iowa's GPR and do you have any ideas of what the program is like... do they place implants, learn IV sedation, do any complex restorative cases or is it just complex amalgams and taking call for the oral surgery residents. I've looked and been unable to find much information on what they actually do and am trying to decide whether or not I want to pay all the travel costs to go out there and interview. Thanks in advance!
 
Just heard via email from Tufts this morning, interviews are Dec 9 or 10
 
Thanks ltb. Did you go for the Michigan interview? How would you rate the program?

Yikes, sorry - late reply. I didn't go for the interview - I found programs I liked already. For what it's worth, I didn't like Michigan's GPR, but I believe the AEGD was quite different (and good, from what I heard).

I interviewed last year. You spend half the year in the VA and half the year in the hospital clinic. Not a lot of surgery (OS does most of it, which I believe you have a 6 week rotation on, and there's an intern at the VA that handles most OS stuff). Lots of prosth at the VA, but not so sure about the hospital clinic.

I recall IV sedation being a part of the curriculum, but I'm not certain how much they did.

For what it's worth, Dr. Forbes is a really nice guy and would likely be more than willing to answer your questions if you just e-mail them to him. Travel costs are obviously a concern, so I'd guess he'd appreciate that fact if you wanted to get more info before going to interview.

@ KendoMania

SF VA apparently only gave out 12 interviews for 4 positions. 300 applicants. If you haven't heard yet, it's probably late... best of luck on all the rest tho!
 
I just received an interview invite from Cedars-Sinai. Looks like California is still offering interviews!
