Application Procedure

Please request an application for the program by emailing

The application deadline for our program is August 1st.

We do accept PASS applications; more information is available here. Admission to any program is a complicated equation, involving National Board Exam, TOEFL, dental degree, letters of recommendation, class rank or other such items. We typically invite some applicants to visit the school in August; decision letters are usually mailed by mid-September. We do encourage foreign applicants; we accept residents that were trained outside the US. Specific information  regarding applications and procedures can be found on the UAB Dentistry web site.

More information about the program can be found on the American Academy of Periodontology website here.

We are pleased to have visitors at UAB, and we invite you to come and see our clinic in person. Please call or email to let us know when you are coming. Also, it is helpful to have your application on file before the time of your visit. Prospective students should fly in Birmingham International Airport (BHM, 20 minutes from school by hotel shuttle). The DoubleTree hotel gives UAB discounted rates, so mention this when booking a room; click here for more.
