1. University of California Los Angeles Residency Program in Pediatric Dentistry
With an average GPA of 3.66 among admitted students and an average DAT score of 22, UCLA’s dentistry program boasts what is arguably the most impressive class of any school featured on this list. Residents in this program fulfill 25 months of coursework, which includes core courses and mandatory instruction in anesthesia. UCLA’s pediatric dentistry program is notably academic in nature, preparing its students for a career as practicing dentists or as teachers of dentistry. In conjunction with the program’s academic component, however, students also carry out clinical rotations in the UCLA Health Sciences Center with additional access to the UCLA Venice Dental Center. With an exceptionally strong faculty and access to state of the art facilities, UCLA’s is unquestionably among the best pediatric dentistry residency programs in the United States.
