Just how hard is it to find a job without a GPR/AEGD or other residency

I know currently only 2 states require residency programs prior to practicing. NY and DE.

However I am wondering how hard is it to find a job without a GPR/AEGD.

Not hard. Get to know people and you'll do fine. I've been offered jobs and I am not participating in any residency program. My school is unique in that we are sent out on 3-6 month extern rotations, which help to prepare....but the places that offered me jobs did not even know that. I think if your personality is a fit, and you can keep up, you will find a job.

It likely depends a lot on where you are looking for jobs, but where I am (in the midwest) they are practically begging more dentists to come here. It was pretty dang easy to find a job without a residency.

Im planning on going to school in the east coast and probably practicing in the state as well. I haven't thought about moving midwest to ty and find a job though.

Totally depends on the area you are looking at. The more desirable areas and private practice docs want more experience as a general rule. Many, but not all, practices in these areas require (or heavily push) 2 years experience or a GPR/AEGD to screen out fresh grads. But there are definitely plenty of areas and most corporates where a GPR/AEGD is not necessary at all. And of course, proper networking and personal relationships can get you in the door as well in any area without a residency.

Yeah I'm sure. But no way would I work for Aspen. They have a 1 star review.

This is what the world has come to - basing decisions off of Google Reviews.

Lol, do you work with them? I mean sure Google reviews aren't 100% accurate but I don't want to get sucked in somewhere terrible.

He's not saying you're wrong! He (and I) just found it funny that your stated reason was the amount of stars they have, lululul
