EndoMatch

How can you participate?

To build on the possibility of a future admissions Match process for postgraduate endodontics, we need to acknowledge, understand, and appreciate both the present and the past. We can do this together by creating a detailed knowledge base of real world endodontics residency application, admission, and program experiences.

Add your voice detailing your personal story within the current endodontics residency application, admission, and program enrollment  processes.

What is an “exploding offer” of admission? It is one where there is typically a very short time period made available for decision making. As an example is the following statement: 

“This offer of admission into our program is only good for the next 24 hours, so I will need to hear from you by then or I will have to rescind it.” 

________________________________________________

Example questions for you to ponder:

1) How many interview invitations did you receive?

2) How many interviews were you able to complete?

3) Was an offer of acceptance into an endodontics residency program extended to you?

4) Did you feel unduly pressured or forced to make an endodontics residency position acceptance decision before you felt prepared to do so?

5) Were you able to complete all of your interviews before making an endodontics residency position acceptance decision?

6) Did you decline an endodontics residency position “exploding offer”? If you did decline an offer, why did you choose to do so and were you later accepted into a different program during the same application cycle? 

7) If you declined an offer and were not later accepted into a different program during the same cycle, how did this impact your future?

8) If you did choose to accept an “exploding offer” for an endodontics residency position, and the program was not among your top choices, how did that decision later affect your time during residency?

9) Please share your overall opinions as to whether or not a postgraduate Match program for Endodontics is a good idea.
