Hello current D3, rising D4 here. If I am able to do a few externships before PASS applications are due in the fall, would that be enough for a pedo residency program to take my interest in applying their program seriously? Or will they only see me as being competitive if I have more pediatric clinical experience under my belt before even attempting to apply?
Having just recently realized I liked doing dental work on children I am trying to increase my exposure level to pediatric dentistry to show programs I am serious about doing pedo. I am more than willing to do as many externships and shadowing as I can once this covid-19 quarantine is over but it is looking like there won't be much time left in between PASS applications being due and when dental clinics are allowed to re-open and function normally again. Would i be much better off applying for a GPR with a known pediatric focus and reapplying? Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks so much!
