Hi!
Does anyone know about the Columbia wait list and if applicants actually ever get admitted from it?

No, I know someone who did this and they just reached out to PDs directly after applying to explain their situation. They got into a very good GPR. Just make sure you are choosing a good GPR/AEGD program as there are many that are 5th year programs.If I use the same LORs from my endo application for my gpr/aegd application, will it hinder my chances/be looked upon? I plan on changing my PS but not sure if I have to ask people to rewrite their letters..
There are still a few schools that could come through.I know it’s a hard pill to swallow but it’s time to make peace with the fact that the cycle is over.
Depends on a few factors. Such as, did you get in? Then it's an easy one. As for me, this year's pill feels like a 5 lb suppository.I know it’s a hard pill to swallow but it’s time to make peace with the fact that the cycle is over.
Well- looks like I'm out. See you all next cycle or at the AAE. Just like marriage, 3rd times a charm. Congrats to everyone this cycle!Interviews sent out OHSU. Updates have been made to the school list.
End of octoberdoes anyone know when case western sent interviews last year?
Any endo experience doesn’t mean good endo experience. I’d focus on a job where you have the time and ability to focus on quality care. Maybe an office that has a good relationship with specialists who you can work with that run stuff by. And of course an office where you have the ability to do your own endo. Going to a DSO type mill where they want you do all your own endo is literally the antithesis of being an endodontist. So I’d have a lot of questions for you at the interview if I heard that was your experience.Is it just as simple as looking for any general dentistry position in an office/practice that emphasizes Endo procedures? Thank you, and best of luck to those still waiting to hear back.
Honestly, while it's nice to have the exposure to endo prior to residency, I would focus on developing your restorative, surgical and soft skills while in practice. There will be plenty of time to learn endodontics from the ground up in residency, some faculty actually prefer that you know very little so that they can teach you their way.Hey everyone - I graduated dental school this past May and am currently doing an AEGD at a VA program. Of course my hope was to transition directly from my AEGD into an Endo residency, but since it didn't work out this year, I'm starting to look into how to spend the next year to hopefully position myself better for the following cycle. Does anyone have suggestions for how to approach this? Is it just as simple as looking for any general dentistry position in an office/practice that emphasizes Endo procedures? Thank you, and best of luck to those still waiting to hear back.

But if you've already got a good grasp on evaluating restorability, biomaterials, patient management and treatment acceptance, reflecting a flap, cutting bone and suturing (all transferrable skills), you can devote your time in residency to purely learning endodontic skills and won't be slowed down. IMO from personal experience.
We were taught to restore all our cases in residency like Hiebert has shown at the AAE and on his social media. But after having practiced for over 2 years, I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been asked to permanently restore a difficult tooth. I’ve also never done a pre endo build up nor have I seen anyone in my group do it. It’s just now how we do it in my area. And like you said, it’s harder than the damn root canal sometimes. It’s a good skill to have, but something I don’t recommend consistently making part of your practice when you get out. But you definitely will be asked plenty of times to determine restorability. In that case you basically just tell the patient it’s questionable due to the amount of decay but you’ll determine it during excavation. Or they can go ahead and extract without even trying. Give them the option and let them decide. I’ve definitely had a handful I’ve sent for extraction. Just gotta be honest with the patient.^what he said
I’m in my first year straight out of school and some of the hardest things personally I’ve encountered are not the Endo. I was surprised to see how many referrals actually want you to tell them if it’s restorable lol. And then there’s those teeth that look non restorable but the GD tells the patient they can restore it and I’m spending more time on the isolation & pre-Endo build up than the actual Endo.
Plenty of root canals in Endo but I’ve found myself also learning a lot on restorative and patient management
I think there's about a negative five thousand percent chance they will call candidates. They likely have a wait-list that they'll select off of if someone falls throughDid the universities that offered positions fill their spots already or there’s a chance the still call candidates?
@reeses and @unknown111 what do the sad faces mean lol?Did anyone here apply to canadian schools? If so has anyone heard back from UBC?
