The Pediatric Dentistry Residency Program participates in the Postdoctoral Application Support Service (PASS). 

Visit the PASS search engine to view detailed application requirements and to apply.

Applicants must also obtain a match number from National Matching Services.

Once an application and supporting materials are processed in PASS and received by WVU, the submission will be reviewed by the Pediatric Dentistry Residency Program Selection Committee.

An invitation for an interview should not be construed as evidence of acceptance; it is a requirement that assists the committee in its selection process.

Applicants approved for admission to the program will be notified through Match and an official acceptance letter from the WVU School of Dentistry. The program begins July 1.

Admitted applicants must fulfill specific pre-matriculation requirements:

• Complete Criminal Background Investigation prior to final acceptance, to be paid by applicant.
• Submit required immunizations documentation by June 1 prior to program start date.
• Review Technical Standards Policy.
• Become familiar with the Infection and Biohazard Control Policy.
• Must be eligible for and obtain a West Virginia dental license or a dental intern/resident permit prior to the first day of program orientation.
