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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those of you who attended AAE Boston as potential applicants, curious to hear how your experience was in terms of meeting program directors/residents? I heard this year's meeting had the most dental students ever (more than 600 students) in attendance! I used to recommend potential applicants to attend the AAE meeting as an avenue to talk with directors/residents but this may not be the best strategy anymore if this trend continues.
I saw a lot of students. I think it’s a good thing but program directors/faculty flat out have said they want real world experience.

How hard is the VA endo in NY to get in? How many applications do they get?

This serves as evidence that the field of endodontics is experiencing a rise in popularity.

BTW, give a follow to this Instagram account; it provides a lot of information about endo:

The program requires a GPR to apply while most programs do not so that already prevents any new grads from DS from applying making it more difficult.
It is also a two year program with a generous stipend which is highly sought after.
Also they only accept 1 candidate per year.

I’d assume this would be as hard to get into as any other programs maybe even harder as the two year with stipend would appeal to more competitive candidates.
