Content Top (Above sidebar) Title Periodontology Admissions Main Content (next to sidebar) Content Admissions Requirements To be eligible for admission to the Postgraduate Program in Periodontology, you must meet the following requirements: Hold a DDS or DMD degree or equivalent by the start of the program. Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. A passing score on the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE), Part 1 & 2 or Integrated National Board Exam (INBDE) is required. Applicants that have completed dental school must Pass and submit NBDE Parts 1&2 OR INBDE by application deadline. An applicant in dental school can be considered for an interview without having taken the exam but will not be ranked without an official INBDE score uploaded to ADEA PASS by November 1, 2024. Matched applicants must Pass and submit NBDE Part 2 results by the start of the program if the NBDE Part 1/2 exam was taken. Take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if your native language is not English and you have not completed at least one year of college or university-level studies in the United States or an English-speaking Canadian Institution. Scores/results must be within two years of the opening of the application cycle: Minimum TOEFL score accepted is 90 or higher on the internet-based test (iBT). We do not accept MyBest Score. Application Procedures There are three steps to the application process: Submit your application through the Postdoctoral Application Support Service (PASS) by the application deadline. You must include the following: personal essay, curriculum vitae (CV), official dental school transcript, upload scanned copies of all other (undergraduate/graduate) transcripts, three PASS evaluation forms (PEFs), dean's institution evaluation and all required scores. Register with the Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program to obtain a match code number, which you must submit through the PASS application. The Match Program is a centralized selection service that matches applicants to programs. Following submission of the PASS application, submit the nonrefundable application processing fee ($60 for domestic applicants, $80 for international applicants) through the UCSF application fee portal. If you have international coursework: You must submit to PASS a course-by-course evaluation of all international transcripts by either Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc., or World Education Services AND upload an unofficial copy of the international transcript directly to ADEA Pass. If a WES ICAP report is submitted to PASS this will fulfill the requirement for the evaluation and transcript. Please note: To be considered for a position in the Postgraduate Program in Periodontology, you must meet all qualifications and submit all required documentation, including the UCSF application processing fee, by the deadline. Interviews Interviews during the 2024-25 admissions season will be conducted in-person. Invitations will be sent directly by the program.
