How to Apply

The GPR Program at the University of Utah is not participating in the Match this year.  

Applications are made through the Postdoctoral Application Support Service (PASS). There is no separate application required.

Applicants are encouraged to take the Advanced Dental Admission Test (ADAT) prior to application, but this is NOT a requirement.

We ask that each resident provide a current resume or CV with a 2 x 2 photograph.

    Application materials must be completed to PASS by October 15, 2023. Our program deadline is October 15, 2023, and interviews must be completed by November 10, 2023.

    All applicants must meet one of the following criteria for application:

    *Foreign-trained dental graduates do not meet CODA requirements for application into our program unless they have completed an advanced standing in a U.S. or Canadian dental school. 

    In-person interviews are required prior to November 10, 2023. Schedule an interview with wendi.rood@hsc.utah.edu.


    To schedule an interview and site visit, residency applicants should contact the General Practice Residency Program Manager prior to our final closing date of November 10, 2023. These visits permit the applicant to gain a firsthand view of the hospital, dental services and resources, as well as provide the staff with an opportunity to assess individual attributes and aspirations of the applicant.

We look forward to receiving your application and meeting you in person. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email our Director and/or Program Manager.
