How to Apply
General Practice Residency (GPR) Program
The General Practice Residency (GPR) program accepts six first-year residents each year, with an optional second year position. It seeks ambitious students from all backgrounds and life experiences. We use a holistic review process when considering applicants by reviewing several factors, including academic credentials, national board scores, experience, community engagement, letters of recommendation, and an invitation-only interview. We encourage those interested in applying by using the following guidelines.
Prerequisite Requirements
- MUST be a DDS or DMD graduate of a CODA-accredited dental school in the United States or Canada
- MUST pass the National Board Dental Examinations (NBDE) Part I to apply. Part II must be completed before enrollment into the program.
Application Requirements
All applicants must apply electronically through ADEA PASS. Our program is the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine GPR515. Through this application process, we will obtain all the information needed to decide to offer an interview. We do participate in the Match to determine our incoming class.
The application deadline is October 1 to be considered for the following July class.
