Selection Process

Residents are selected with no pre-determined quotas or bias to gender, religious affiliation, or ethnicity. Selection is based on a composite of dental school grades, grades on national tests, interviews, letters of recommendations, and personal attributes. Applicants apply through the PASS program and are screened by the Prosthodontic Residency Screening committee, consisting of the Program Director and two Residency Prosthodontic faculty members. These three individuals reviewed records independently and a candidate is offered an interview if two out of the three members recommend it. Candidates are notified of the available interview dates. An interview day consists of tours of the facilities, meeting with faculty and current residents, clinical observation and lunch. At the conclusion of the interviews, the Program Director, faculty members and current residents discuss each candidate and a ranking is developed. The program does participate in the MATCH process.
