Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program

The Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program places applicants into positions for the first year of training in the following types of postdoctoral dental education programs:

  • Advanced Education in General Dentistry
  • General Practice Residency
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Dental Anesthesiology

NMS provides Turnkey Match Administration for the Match on behalf of six sponsoring organizations representing the profession. NMS developed a detailed program design prior to initiating a new Match in 1985. NMS now administers two Matches annually for postdoctoral education positions, and has integrated applicant registration with the American Dental Education Association's central application service.

More information about this Match is available on the Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program web site.
