In some residency you don't get paid. How does that work? What are the hours like then if you don't get paid? Will you be able to hold a full or part time job to get some income while you do the residency? Does the residency at least provide benefits such as health insurance.
 
Why are you asking a bunch of pre dents? If you are a dental student already, go to the dental forum where people may know the answer to your question

In a vast majority of the cases, you pay for your own residency. I've looked into it, and they usually don't want you to work either. Not like you'd really have time to do so anyway.

OMFS and GPR residencies are the ones which pay. The vast majority of residencies in other specialties not only don't pay you, but in fact charge a hefty tuition for you to attend them.
 
Oh, I am so sorry if I hurt that little sensitive heart of yours. So sad
You seem very irritated, a new diaper is definitely needed. Have fun at interviews with that attitude, the admins will love you loooool
 
Majority: OMS, PEDO, Dental Anesthesia, AEGD, GPR, Oral facial Pain. All other specialties have at least 3 programs that pay but are highly competitive to get into.
