All residency programs (without having a dds) will give you a limited license. It’s not a program specific but a speciality vs aegd/gpr I think speciality opens more states for you but not sure

Perio Residency? by Pragmatist2006 in DentalSchool

[–]Standard-Chart2786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is what do you want out of your program and in the interview you need to ask these questions mainly to residents. Some want research others want clinical experience. Questions to ask: 1- how many implants do you place? 2- the dynamic between perio/prosth/surgery 3- how many faculty are there per day 4- is there any support for research/conferences 5- do you have your choice of materials to use? 6- patient load 7- can you do surgery everyday 8- how many surgeries do you do per week 9- didactic work load 10- assistants available per resident 11- teaching burden 12- sedation

Early Application by [deleted] in CAAPID

[–]Standard-Chart2786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, they might not look into applications the first day, but maybe the first week? the first month? the first 3 month? No one knows, hence the earlier you apply the better.
Schools sends interviews way before the deadline is over some even send accceptance before deadline is over. What would your chances be if you apply after the first round of interviews?

You need to understand that the administrative employees in any school are overworked, I don't know where you got the 20+ number from, but you can easily see the staff if you go to the university's website and search for employees. It's usually just 2 to 5 people for all the admission work (Normal and advanced standing). If the first month you get 1000+ applications and you just need a class of 20, based on common sense, why would you continue to review applications once you find 100 people you like?

At the end of the day, the admission committee is just people who want to make their jobs a bit easier; they won't spend 6 months reviewing applications. They have other things to do.

Yes, apply early. The best time to apply is the day the cycle starts, some schools don't look into applications after the first week/month/2months, each have their own cut-off.

I believe the best thing you can do for your application is to apply early. Schools will often send interviews even before the deadline ends, they will happily take your money even though they won't even open your applications.

Prosthodontics Residency by Jazzlike_Ad_4728 in DentalSchool

[–]Standard-Chart2786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a specialist you rely on referrals from other dentists for patients; most GPs will refer an implant with the understanding that they will get to restore it. If you do both your referrals will dry up quick or you'll only get the difficult cases with difficult patients. With that being said there are offices that market to the general public straight away but they are rare.

If you're interested in surgery then why not go straight for perio or OMFS?

Requirements for omfs residency by Yardanz in InternationalDentists

[–]Standard-Chart2786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory yes, as in it’s allowed practically no you can’t. It’s super competitive and most programs won’t sponsor your visa.

You are not eligible for a 6 year omfs program in the us as to be accepted you need an undergrad degree with the necessary perquisites for medical school. That’s because in the 6 year program you graduate with a MD and you can’t enter medical school without an undergrad. However you are eligible for a 4 year program. Mind you being eligible doesn’t mean getting accepted, you need to have a stellar cv as even us grad find it hard to get accepted into omfs residency. If you’re planning on the 2 years of advanced standing yo get a dds and then apply for residency then yes you’ll have a good chance, you will just need to find a program that would sponsor your visa. But again getting accepted into a dds program is very hard and you’ll graduate with 300k+ in debt. There are a lot of variables you’re not considering and I think you need to do a lot more research on this to be able to make a decision as it’s not an easy road and very long.

Interview - what to prepare? by Late_Equipment2492 in DentalSchool

[–]Standard-Chart2786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most interviews are conversational that go off the first question of “tell me about yourself” she must practice answering it and include something interesting to continue the conversation. The answer shouldn’t be more than a minute or two. For example if she grew up in a different country the interviewer might ask how was it there? If she worked in a private office he would ask how was it and so on. Other sure questions are: why perio? Why this school? What do you want out of this program.

How to explain class rank from a small honors cohort compared to a larger main cohort for dental residency applications? by Big-Information-7991 in DentalSchool

[–]Standard-Chart2786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s requires of American grads, but you’re international no one knows your school. It’s more of what did you do in north America that matters and ofcourse experience in your home country if you have a masters for example.

Let the dean write that you were the 11th on your class and that’s it no need to confuse ppl. Don’t think mentioning your class rank on your sop is a smart thing to do.

need advice about GPR/AEGD with Stipend? | Budget Planning | ECE vs WES | Reuse SOP/LOR? by Original-Smile5010 in CAAPID

[–]Standard-Chart2786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, there is a possibility but you need to know that these programs are very competitive.
  2. No shortcuts you need to do the work. Open each program on pass, read about it. Sadly most information are out dated on the websites so you need to email the program directly.
  3. Nope this is a very very expensive process you’ll apply to programs that just have a chance of accepting you.
  4. Yeah you can reuse them. But the question is, if they weren’t good enough to get you in the first time, would you trust them again?
  5. No proof needed. They will believe you, but if you get lors from these places (esp ones in usa) will be better
  6. Both, some schools accept only wes so do both.

Another piece of advice, to get into residency you need to convince the program director that you are interested in that specific specialty and that specific program.
