Application Requirements

Application Process - GPR

Effective in 2026, GPR programs are moving to Phase I of the match per NatMatch.com. Match results will be released in November. This means that programs and candidates will be interviewing a little earlier in the fall.

Residency applications for the University of Vermont GPR program at the UVM Medical Center are submitted via American Dental Education Association Postdoctoral Application Support Service (ADEA PASS). Your application and supporting documentation should be received in PASS by September 1 if not sooner. We will continue to accept applications throughout September and early October but to get the optimal interview opportunities we recommend submitting your materials by 9/1.

Our Dental Residency Program participates in the postdoctoral dental matching program administered by National Matching Services Inc.

Our committee will review applications and email a select number of candidates an offer to interview via Interview Broker.
