Applicants who are still in dental school can be considered for an interview without having taken the exam but must Pass and submit INBDE scores to ADEA PASS by November 1. 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. Please note: To be considered for a position in the Prosthodontics program, you must meet all qualifications and submit all required documentation, including the UCSF application processing fee, by the deadline 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, all other undergraduate transcripts (scanned and uploaded), 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. International candidates are considered; however, the program is unable to sponsor work or student visas. Candidates must hold authorization to work in the U.S. during the full duration of residency program (ex. H1B EAD). The UCSF Prosthodontics residency is not J-1 eligible. Selection We accept up to four residents each year; one resident is selected for the San Francisco Veterans Administration hospital. Admission is based on dental school grade point average and class standing, INBDE score, letters of recommendation and interview. Interviews Interviews during the 2025-26 admissions season will be in-person. Invitations will be sent directly by the program. Interviews will take place between October/November.
