Aegd programs

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi Doctor!
I am applying toUConn as well.
The director said that interviews will be sent out by mid november and will take place at the end of the week to end of december.
I am hoping for a chance to have an interview. I am so anxious and been thinking about it everyday. I really would like to get in.
Where are you from? Glad to know there is someone out there applying too and posted a thread.
 
Trust me on this..do DDS or DMD. That is one degree no one can take away from you and ur lic. in all over north america including canada; obviously after taking the boards.
AEGD/GPR are good for training afterwards OR if your doing it to get into DDS for international students.
 
hi dents! where did you apply to and any interviews laready? good luck!
 
I already have a DDS,. But if you have any questions with international DDS programs/or AEGD programs I can help you.
 
Hi butterbrush!! Finally someone else that is applying to an AEGD . I am very excited also, I hope they give me a chance to enroll in this program. Than you very much for the information on the interviews I was anxious about knowing when they take place. I am from Costa Rica this is my first time applying. How about you where are you from? What do you know about the program?
 
Hi!
I'm so glad you started this thread. i hope others who are applying will respond as well.
I am from the Philippines and it is my first time applying too.
you applied to BU? I thought they only accepted US grads in their AEGD program?
what else do I know about UConn.. i read the description in their website and I think it is a very good program and i have another friend who is applying there this year too. I will pray for you too. I hope we get in! We just have to wait mid november.. and cross our fingers till then.
BTW, I am a teacher also, with about 6months experience.
2005 grad and 2 yrs work experience. how about you?

Hi Sherif!
stats are;
NBDE1-82
GPA- 3.58
TOEFL-257 CBT old score ( i havnt received my new IBT scores yet)
Post grad cert:
Externshp in Hosp Dentistry (Philippines)
UCLA Endodontics and Periodontics Preceptorship program (2007-2008)
graduate-2005 DMD Philippines
work experience-2 yrs
Teaching experience- 6mos-present

I think we should wait till mid November for UConn. Maybe you can write the secretary of the programs you applied to when you could be expecting their invite.

I applied to Rochester(but i was closed out on interview dates, so my application will be entertained next year), Marquette, Lutheran Medical Center AZ and MA, Howard University.

Doctors, kindly post and update if you hear anything from them.
Thank You.

i think your preceptorship program will give you a good chance to be accepted if i am right ...

Sherif, i read your post about your interview in Rochester.. that was a very good write up on your experience.

I do wish you all the best. Hope we get in the AEGD program! 🙂

hi sharp canine, you should go to www.adea.org/ and enter PASS and look for the programs search engine and look the AEGD programs, They will give you a list of many AEGD programs in the US and the requierements.

hi! the tuition for the preceptorship program is $4,500 per quarter for the Endo, perio, pros, surgery preceptorship program. for esthetics and ortho it is much higher and it is mandatory you complete 1 year of study. you can go here for more info http://uclasod.dent.ucla.edu/admissions/index.asp?id=388

You cannot treat any patients tho.. but you do get to go to all the classes of the residents and assist them during surgeries. Also, you can attend the continuing education courses available on the quarter of your enrollment. In endo, I did a lot of simulator cases and practiced on typodont teeth and got to try out all the different file systems. I really learned a lot here but it is up to you to make the most out of your program. I am finding it very useful as I get to share what i learned here in my country🙂
what program do you think of doing?
oh.. yes i took the part 2 boards as well but my score is not good. 🙁 75 only.

Hi, can you tell me a bit more about the perceptorship program? You basically get in for sure since you have to pay, right? i mean it's not like the other programs where they have to accept you and go to interviews right? Do you know of other schools that offer this type of program?
Thanks!

To be honest... this delay in responding to our applications is not a good sign ,,, and so far people have been getting interview calls and even some schools already had their interviews,,
so far i only had rochester interivew...
and had many rejections,,
and have heard from the rest ..

what surprises me, that there is no rule for this...
some ppl. scored about 90's and ended up with no interviews,,
and i know people as low as 82,, and ended up being accepted into programs,,,
so we dont really know what to expect.. we just need to pray hard and keep trying and believing that we will get there one day..

From my experience, I can confirm that delay in responding is not a good sign at all, since most of them don't bother sending rejection letters at all.

Don't be surprised, scores are not everything. As an FTD, you gotta have all of these: high boards, US experience, high GPA, LOR, and most importantly connections. Go visit some schools and you will see what I'm talking about.

Good luck.
 
can you apply with part I only ?
Sherif please give you your email i'm egyptian too where you live in us?
 
Hi ,I have question
FTD do they get licence to practice after completing AEGD programs.
thanks

good luck 2 everyone👍

Hi....
I am dentist from India looking forward to take my Part 1 in Feb 2010.
I have some queries regarding new pattern and also regarding application for residency program.

1.)I came to know that there might be pass or fail for nbde and also that they are combining both nbde -1 & 2 into one exam. Is it applicable from 2010 or from 2012?

2.)If I give my part 1 in Feb 2010 is it possible for me to apply to the residency programs (AEGD) starting in 2010?

I'm really in need of your valuable suggestions...plz help regarding...
thanks in advance...tc
