*****Official PASS 2026 Endodontic Residency Interviews/Information***

Members don't see this ad.

anybody was thinking ortho then went ahead with endo?

Jokes aside, I don't think that's common. Ortho and endo are very opposite procedures.

 

[dentaldude7272]

Has anyone heard if the nyu langone or Oregon OHSU are good programs clinical experience wise?

 

[endoherb]

That makes sense! Hopefully we get in lol

Same email😅😅 last year I didn’t receive an email like that tho. Just rejection one

 

[yankpak786]

Man, this application process feels lonely. Let's start a conversation here. I've been working for 4-5 years out. What about you guys? What are you looking for, how long have you been working? When did you know endo. is the way to go for you?​

 

[dentaldude7272]

I’m 6 years out, but working 5 years because a GPR. I want a clinical heavy residency. I kinda knew endo when I watched my referring endodontist and the lifestyle and number of patients he saw just looked like my style and tbh a lot easier

 

[yendo25]

Hello! I graduated in 2020, did one year of GPR and been working for a DSO since then. I appreciate all the information that's shared on this forum!

 

[2thAche22]

Hello! Graduated 22' and did a GPR and now have been working for the big "A" in DSOs. First time applying to Endo!

 

[icefishendo]

I am a 2021 certified-COVID graduate, and this is my first time applying to endo. I'm looking for a well-rounded and fun program. I always liked endo since pre-doc -- the residents and faculty were supportive -- but it is only after practicing as a GP for a few years that I discovered I'd prefer to be an endodontist. I think I can grow (career-wise) a lot better if I can focus on doing a subset of procedures I like.

Did you learn anything major about applying from this year compared to last year?

Besides the posted interviews, I haven’t heard anything. I wonder if Einstein sent out interviews because their interview is in June. Most programs send out by last week of June, so I’m sure we’ll see the big wave these upcoming 2 weeks.

Wow lots of people here with a good amount of private practice experience. I’ve done an AEGD and been practicing for a year. First time applying to endo. Knew it was for me when I got to experience some complex cases during my AEGD.

 

[RollingDDS]

I heard there’s an old thread with a list of common endo interview questions to prepare for. Does anyone know where to find it?

San Antonio sent another round of interview invites on 6/11. I believe they are finished because the deadline to reply was 6/11!

 

[TargetEndo]

Has anyone heard if the nyu langone or Oregon OHSU are good programs clinical experience wise?

There are very few programs that are in the realm of "not good". If they provided inadequate training, CODA would delist them. Of course each program has it's own strengths and weaknesses. You just have to make sure those align with what you're looking for.
These are good programs.

Gotta appreciate the courtesy of a rejection letter. It’s the little things!

Who sent out rejections this early?

 

[alice496]

Who sent out rejections this early?

UT San Antonio

I know it’s still early in the cycle but man has my confidence been shaken! It’s my first cycle and I applied quite broadly thinking I’d probably land somewhere. Now I’m already contemplating what another cycle would look like…

 

[alice496]

I felt the same way last year, trust me. But you’ve got to remember. it’s not you. The whole thing is trash. Hang in there.

 

[MasterFile]

Any rising D4 applying this cycle?

 

[theDDSguy]

Any rising D4 applying this cycle?

Not a rising D4 but just fresh out of dental school. Graduated last week.

 

[endodontic]

I feel the same exact way. I have been practicing general dentistry for 5 years. Applied very broadly and so far nothing. Thinking about what to do for next years application.

 

[dentist432]

How many schools did you apply?

I feel the same exact way. I have been practicing general dentistry for 5 years. Applied very broadly and so far nothing. Thinking about what to do for next years application.

It’s a humbling process. I had the same thought process as you and was like wtf. Was accepted on my 3rd cycle. 😐. It is early though and you just never know. Everyone is so qualified I don’t know how these directors can even narrow anything down. Throw a dart on the board

 

[endodontic]

How many schools did you apply?

35

Not much different than last time I applied. I actually applied 3 years ago and again this year. No interviews last time and so far still nothing. Very demoralizing but its all good. Lets be hopeful. This week's done, but on to the next!
