I met a guy who graduated from UOP in Boston last summer, he went straight to Tuft's endo program.

It's not common. 🙂

I know another girl who's about to enter the endo program at Tufts as well straight out of dental school.

There are actually a lot more straight-outs than people may have you believe. I've only run into a couple of schools that explicitly tell you that post-grad experience is absolutely necessary. Most of the people I know who have gotten in right out are #1 or #2 in their class with 95+ board scores. Stats like that can persuade programs not to pass you up. San Antonio has had 2 residents straight out of school in the last 3 years. It's not the majority, but it definitely happens.

We have only one current endo resident (to my knowledge) that got in right out of school without either a GPR or working in private practice first. He had a 99 on Parts I and II. It's not impossible, but I would not count on it.

As had been said in posts above it is not easy, but I know of one guy who is going into endo right after graduation. At BU, from what I know, the director prefers people with experience after dental school via GPR, AEGD, or private practice. He does not limit applicants who do not, but it seems the general trend is that you chances are higher. I know of three people who graduated in 06 that will enter the 1st year residents class of endo at BU this fall. Good luck!

UPenn
Temple
Marquette
UNC
UCLA
Maryland
Tufts
BU
UCONN
Pitt
NYU
Einstein(yes, it's hard to believe but true)
Baylor

I've updated the list for you adding the programs I have first hand knowledge of. Unfortunately, to get a look see right out of school at Baylor, Einstein or UCONN you really have to be a stud(or studette as the case may be). I graduated with one at UCONN who stayed there after graduation and one who went to Baylor the next year straight out. It can happen, but I can tell you, there is a reason they want you to have some experience. And I'll leave it at that. Good luck.

i know of a girl who got into baylor's endo program right out of school without being absolutely stellar. i believe it had something to do with her being from ucla dental... i heard they're not too shabby over there hehe. there was also another classmate of hers that got into an endo program right from ucla, although i'm not sure which one.

To get in right out of dental school, you'd have to be an absolute rockstar - 98 or higher on both parts of boards, 1 or 2 in your class, significant clinical achievements.

More than anything, the reason for the extra year before residency is to allow the candidate to gain experience and speed.

It also makes a huge difference how strong your pre-doctoral endodontic training was, and how well the department is recognized.

For example, and I hope this does not sound too centered. Pacific has instituted a nationally recognized pre-doc endo cirriculum, clinical training environment, faculty and chair, and in turn, consistently matches graduates who wish to pursue post-doc endo training to very well respected programs right out of school (UPenn, Harvard, Tufts, Baylor among others).

Don't expect to match endo with less than 10 or so completed cases while in school.
As others have mentioned, it's always a good start to have exceptional endo recommendations and board scores too.

One of my classmates got into BU's endo program straight out of dental school. She was not in the very top of our class, but was a very good student with a ton of research and externships in endo.

Don't expect to "match" in endo at all... just to clear up any confusion, none of the endo programs participate in match.

Also, if you've done less than ten endo cases, how sure are you that you wanna live your life in 25 mm anyway.

Good advice NileBDS.

I sure hope a good handful of the programs will look at my application straight out of school.

Loma Linda University started accepting people right out of school this year.

 

[Motown]

This is misinformation - Loma Linda didn't "start accepting" new grads - It made its first exception in something like 20 years. Maybe if you have high stats, have done several hundred canals in dental school, presented endo research projects, are 20 years older than the average dental school grad..... .

 

[bossnaj1]

True they accepted the first in 20 years.. However though its preferred to have some experience after dental school, the department will consider new grads. Before they did not

 

[servitup]

i think i would shoot myself if i had to do more than 5 endo's in D school. God bless the endodontists.
