Has anyone heard from any programs for GPR interviews yet? I know it may be a little early but I know some programs start giving interviews in early October

Me too.Do you know exactly what they mean by the Alternate candidate?
I was interviewed at Wilksbarry VA GPR in late July.
 
I guess if their first round acceptances don't match, then you have a chance. I guess after match, they will contact you to interview if a spot opens up. I was expecting this as I'm not a US citizen, so I don't think I'll be a first round acceptance at any of the VAs

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to be a US citizen to be a resident at any VA program? All programs I applied to last year required US citizenship.

I think it depends on the program because some of the VAs I looked into required US citizenship, others said that US citizens have preference

Yep, at Providence VA. Great program. Really no complaints. It's an AEGD so no call, but we receive the same pay as a GPR (~$50k). Lots of prosth, surgery, operative, and we are just starting to place implants and do more perio surgery. Attendings are friendly and staff is a great bunch.

Hup

Oh Yeah forgot to mention. We are encouraged to do ALL of our own endo. We have the option of sending it out to a private endodontist, but it costs the VA $$.. so we do all our own. I've done molar endo through 6 unit FPD abutments. It's tough, but it makes other cases a breeze.

UVA is a great program with some awesome residents. You'll work your tail off but come out with some great experiences.

The interview is laid back and you get to spend some time getting to know the residents. Don't stress this one - just go in there smiling and willing to learn.

Are you resident at VA or VCU??
I have given interviews already. VA has only 2 position and very compitative to get into...VA program is really good with only one drawback of 2 yrs compare to other program. A person who is ready to go for 2 yr like me, VA is always be my 1st choice in Virginia state.

Hey sagul,

Does anyone know any info about the GPR programs at North Shore or Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center?
 
Nope, I haven't heard from Stony Brook either. It's one of the places I've been waiting to hear back from...

I heard from all by email, and from Brigham a couple weeks ago i think. I've also heard from VA Jesse Brown in chicago and the Cambridge Health Alliance/Harvard SDM program as well. Anyone hear from VA Puget Sound, Rush, or Tufts?
