This Directory of Participating Programs lists those programs that are participating in the Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program (the "Match") for 2012-2013 postdoctoral positions. This Directory is updated regularly, whenever information about programs participating in the Match changes. Applicants are encouraged to consult this online Directory for the most current information on program offerings and Code Numbers prior to finalizing their Rank Order Lists for the Match.

This Directory is displayed by program type. Within each program type, programs are listed alphabetically by state and city within state, and then alphabetically by institution name within city. Institutions in Canada (if any) appear at the end of the listing for each program type. Click on the program type below to view participating programs of that type:

Applicants participating in the Match must use the 4-digit program Code Number shown in this Directory to identify each program when submitting their Rank Order Lists. (Applicants should not use PASS codes for programs.) Only programs that are participating in the Match can be included on an applicant's Rank Order List. If an applicant wishes to rank a program that does not appear in this Directory, the applicant should contact the Program Director to determine if the program is participating in the Match, and to obtain the Code Number for the program to be used on the applicant's Rank Order List.

A brief description of each program is provided, including the duration of the program and other information provided by the Program Director. This information is included to assist the applicant in identifying each program, to ensure he or she uses the proper Code Number for the desired program on the applicant's Rank Order List submitted for the Match. This is particularly relevant where an institution is offering more than one program or track in the Match. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the applicant's Rank Order List submitted for the Match includes the correct Code Number for each program ranked by the applicant.

To obtain further information on any program, or to clarify which Code Number to use for any program on an applicant's Rank Order List, the applicant should contact the Program Director directly.
