U. of Washington GPR program is an accredited 12-month (PGY1) program with an optional 2nd year (PGY2). The GPR PGY1 has a specific hospital and clinic rotation experience with accompanying didactic curriculum. The optional PGY2 year allows clinical rotations and work experience to be custom designed to focus on a trainee’s specific area of interest within the scope of Advanced General Dentistry and Special Care Dentistry.
The UW GPR Program fills 8 (PGY1) positions per year via National Dental Match Program (MATCH). There is one PGY2 position available per year. The PGY2 position is open to applicants who complete their PGY1 year at UW, or an outside institution. The optional 2nd year position has two curriculum options: 1). Specialized focus in advanced general dentisty, or 2). Twelve- month clinical traning in Special Care Dentistry through the UW School of Dentistry’s DECOD Program. We encourage qualified and interested candidates of the PGY2 year, to apply directly to the program (see program website).
Applicants applying for AY26 PGY1 positions who are also interested in continuing to the optional PGY2 should contact the program directly after submitting your application through PASS.
The program Website lists a complete description of the residency program; we encourage all applicants to review the information on the program website and then contact the program directly if you have any additional questions.
