STEP 1 - MAKING APPLICATION

September 30, 2009: APPLICATION DEADLINE. Application forms and all supporting documents must be received in the Admissions Office by September 30, 2009, at 5:00 p.m., which is the application deadline. The following payment must accompany your completed application form:

• Non-refundable application service fee of $230 CDN (certified cheque or money order payable to the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto ). We do not accept personal cheques or credit card payments.

In addition, applicants must arrange for the following documents to be submitted directly to the Admissions Office by the application deadline:

• Official transcripts of all university education in sealed envelopes from the issuing institutions. *
• Two letters of reference in sealed envelopes.
• Proof of English facility from the testing agency, if applicable.

* Applicants attending the University of Toronto are not required to arrange for transcripts if their complete academic record appears on the U of T Student Record System (ROSI); if not, applicants must arrange for official transcripts to be sent by the Transcript Centre.

STEP 2 - INTERVIEWS

Interviews are an integral part of the application process. Only in very exceptional circumstances are dental residents selected without having been interviewed. The U of T Teaching Hospitals will conduct their interviews after the application deadline. Normally, interviews take place from early October through early November. Please follow the instructions below:

Each Hospital Dental Department sets its own interview schedule independently of the other Hospitals. As a result, you will be required to attend an interview with each of the Hospital Dental Departments in which you are interested. You are responsible for contacting the Hospital Dental Departments directly to make arrangements. See the Hospital Dental Residency Information Sheet for a list of contact names and telephone numbers.

November 10, 2009 : DEADLINE FOR DENTAL RESIDENCY PREFERENCE FORMS. A blank form is included in this brochure. Return your completed Dental Residency Preference Form to the Admissions Office after your interviews and no later than November 10, 2009, at 5:00 p.m., which is the deadline. The Dental Residency Preference Form allows the applicant to match his or her highest choice with the U of T Teaching Hospitals and/or Faculty of Dentistry. This information is not made available to the Hospitals or Faculty until after they have completed interviews.
