UCSF Orthodontics has an opening. Two of the first year residents resigned. One has been replaced, but there is still a spot open.
Any one know why the two residents stepped down?

I hear UCSF is a decent program, but when two of the five new residents jump ship, it makes me wonder.. but I'm sure they'll be getting a lot of applications and phone calls the next few days. Good luck to all.

2 residents quit after less than a month??? Sounds a little fishy to me.

How bad can a program be to quit?

Why did the residents quit? Were they forced out? It's hard to believe two residents would quit at the same time. Has UCSF picked their replacements?

Wow, it must be a truely terrible program. To work so hard in dental school for 4 years and then just quit once youve reached that level is so sad. Maybe the 2 people who left had family problems, but if not I hope they reapply and can get into a program they enjoy. This is a big lesson for residents applying this year - rank the schools in order of where you want to go and not where you think they rank you. Atleast then if you end up in a crappy program it was your last option. Poor USCF Orthodontics - I hope we dont have another Jacksonville on our hands.

First, let me say that I have nothing to do with UCSF. That being said, it is surprising, and really quite interesting, that you would unknowingly assume that these residents just up and quit the program. It is just as likely, possibly more likely, that they were "asked to leave."

One of them quit for personal reasons.

FYI: In both incidents, the students had personal reasons for their actions. One informed the school of their decision not to attend due to a change in personal circumstances prior to the program even starting; the other also had personal reasons to voluntarily end the program after a few weeks.

Reminds me of the UCLA orthodontic program fiasco a few years back..
